    Judge Comment: Very professional and nice touches throughout. I especially liked how you used the Nutcracker ballerina to highlight the top of the front page - and draw readers into the Sailor (which also looked very nice). Photos and text compliment each other well, and overall layout is very appealing to the reader.

    Judge Comment: Great mix of photos and text to highlight your community. The gymnast cover is a gold medal effort - nice use of PhotoShop to make it pop even more. Watch for photo overload on interior and back pages, but otherwise good job!

    Judge Comment: Aesthetically pleasing layout - with professional use of photos, fonts and design. Interior pages are too heavy on the text side.
