The Columbia Scholastic Press Association (CSPA) announces the winners from its 39th Gold Circle Awards program. This year, the Gold Circle Awards attracted 4,132 entrants in 91 categories.
Nine of the eleven national winners in the Documentary and PSA category were from Sacred Heart Greenwich's Media Studies program. Special congratulations to Jhonni Dixon '23 who won three national awards for her non-fiction filmmaking in this year's Gold Circle Awards.
"It is especially remarkable that two of the top documentaries from Sacred Heart Greenwich were filmed via Zoom during the pandemic. This shows that powerful storytelling transcends the latest and greatest technology. For example, Payton Sfreddo was just a freshman when she interviewed her grandfather remotely about his experience in the Vietnam War, placing first in the nation for her documentary. What an honor to see Sacred Heart filmmakers recognized as some of the top journalists in the nation by Columbia Scholastic Press Association," Director of Media Studies, Design and Innovation Ms. Ellyn Stewart said.
Congratulations to all of our winners!
