Does this award warrant an update?

I attended the National High School Journalism Convention, where this year’s issues of our newspaper were judged in a Best in Show category. For each media platform (newspaper under 17 pages, above 17 pages, broadcast, magazine, etc) 10 are recognized in this national competition. My newspaper placed in the top 3 nationally. The judging was based on our first two issues, which I have served as editor-in-chief for and have put in an incredible amount of time.

Is this something I should update Harvard about? I understand it’s not a personal award, but as editor I oversee the entire paper. And we haven’t won national awards like this in years, though Harvard won’t know that.

If i do update via the portal (which allows for files to be uploaded regarding awards and certificates), how do I present this? Do I just upload a word doc stating this? Or should I take a picture of the certificate in my classroom and send that?

Thanks!
