Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Chaska Herald Entry Title: Chaska Herald Entry Credit: Chaska Herald Judge Comment: This was the staff favorite. Good attention to detail and the little things that make the pages pop. While not a fan of stacking ads to the left, they seem to make it work. Excellent photos, cropped and sized well. Overall just a nice read.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Woodbury Bulletin Entry Title: Woodbury Bulletin General Excellence Entry Credit: Bulletin Staff Judge Comment: Clear second choice. Again, attention to the little things seems to make the difference. Good use of color when available. Nice ads.

Would like to see more variety in headline sizes and photo sizes.
Competition Comment: Lot of great entries. All generally well done. Each newspaper did some things very well. Minnesota definitely had some strong non-daily newspapers!
