Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: The Clarion (Bethel University) Entry Title: On my own two feet Entry Credit: Zach Walker Judge Comment: An incredible story that is written beautifully. Highly exceeded expectations in this category. Phenomenal job.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: The Bark (University of Minnesota - Duluth) Entry Title: BULLDOG OF THE MONTH: TERRESA MOSES Entry Credit: Zack Benz Judge Comment: Very well done. Excellent angle to tell her story in a well-rounded way. The writing really draws readers into her community involvement and inspiration.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: The Clarion (Bethel University) Entry Title: Freshman mom Entry Credit: Sara Dvorak Judge Comment: Very strong writing that draws the reader in. If it were expanded upon and dove deeper into her story, it would have been a 2nd place contender.
Competition Comment: There were a few other fantastic articles that were close to the same journalistic level as the third place slot, making this competition a difficult one – but these winning pieces stood out the most in terms of writing style, AP Style consistency, and overall depth of telling a story. Job well done to all of you!
