On April 10, 2010, the ICPA (Indiana Collegiate Press Association) held their 51st annual awards program. These awards represent the finest journalistic and literary work of Indiana's universities.

Ball State's literary magazine, The Broken Plate, won three awards, including 1st Place in the prestigious
"Best Single Issue" category. The judge stated the magazine contained "Consistently good poetry and fiction."

The Broken Plate was also awarded a 2nd Place prize for "Best Free Verse Poem" and a 3rd Place prize for "Best Cover Design."

The Broken Plate is a literary magazine produced by undergraduate students at Ball State University featuring poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. The magazine is edited by students in English 489 (Practicum in Literary Editing), an immersive course in which the students edit, design and market this publication. We congratulate them for their hard work and these outstanding awards!
