Newhouse School students and projects had a phenomenal showing at the 2022 BEA Festival of Media Arts with 30 award winners, including a Best of Festival honor for the Entitled to Equality project and five 1st Place honors across the Interactive, Sports and News divisions.
The school’s tally this year easily tops the 17 winners from 2021 and also places the students among the top 20 percent of the contest’s 1,650 entries.
BEA will recognize the students again on April 16 and 17 during the BEA2023 Convention in Las Vegas.
Congratulations on an amazing job!
