The Montclarion has received three awards from the 2015-16 NJ Collegiate Newspaper Contest, a competition hosted by the New Jersey Press Foundation in order to reward exceptional media from student newspapers in the state.
Students may recognize this artwork by Catarina Rodrigues, which symbolized the woes addressed in our award-winning parking package.

Our accolades include a first-place win for photography for Elena Medina’s photo essay “Presenting Lady Rae Pavillion,” a first-place win for a web project for our piece, “What Veterans Day Means to These Montclair State Vets” and a second-place win in the same category for our parking package, “Parking at Montclair State: It’s All Packed Here.”
Both of these online projects were collaborative efforts involving work from many student reporters at the university.
