As The Summer Publishing Institute wound to a close, students presented their final book projects to a panel of judges. The winners received bottles of wine to celebrate the conclusion of an amazing SPI 2009. The next day, everybody gathered for a Career Fair attended by top magazine and book publishing companies like Scholastic, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Hachette Book Group, and Conde Nast Publications. Students later gathered for an award luncheon and final farewells.

It was not your typical, staid working environment: incredible student artwork – all made by winners of the Scholastic Art Award, a prestigious award program for young students pursuing creative studies-lined the walls and a red “Box for Big Ideas” was set up in the cafeteria.
