Yearbook Contests
When you receive your 2026 yearbook for distribution, don’t forget to send it to us for your annual critique! Critique of your previous year’s yearbook is included in your membership for the current school year (this is due to yearbooks getting delivered at/after the conclusion of the school year)
For the 2026 OSMA Yearbook Contest/Critique, we will have three separate deadlines based on when your book gets delivered. Take a look at the updated dates below.
ENTRY DEADLINES (received by us):
- by June 30 (for spring delivery books)
- by September 30 (for summer and early-fall delivery books)
- by November 30 (for late fall delivery books)
We will try to have all yearbooks critiqued and have feedback sent within 2 months of each entry deadline.
Print out this year’s School Data Sheet, fill it out, and send it with your yearbook to OSMA Executive Director Julieanne McClain at the following mailing address: 15780 Trenton Road, Sunbury, OH 43074. (Our official mailing address charges us a small fee to accept packages, so sending them straight to Julieanne helps to save us money)

DON’T FORGET YOUR OSMA MEMBERSHIP. This must be renewed each school year in order to attend workshops, conventions, enter in contests and critiques. Learn more about OSMA membership HERE.
