Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Tyler Tribute Entry Title: Mark Wilmes - Best Columnist Entry Credit: Mark Wilmes Judge Comment: Mark Wilmes
A great column and a very effective way to educate the public. It's classic the way the writer uses historical context to inform the public instead of hitting them over the head with his message. He takes being subtle to whole different level.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Cloquet - Pine Knot News Entry Title: Steve Korby columns Entry Credit: Steve Korby Judge Comment: The writer really does a great job of shining light on the newspaper pages from the archives. It is a real art to be able to take 50-year information, and make it relevant and newsworthy once again.
Well written, good style.
