Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Fergus Falls - The Daily Journal Entry Title: Deb Erickson Entry Credit: Deb Erickson Judge Comment: This entry had the best use of white space, which complemented the font choices well. Good color reproduction furthered this entry's appeal. Have you considered a ragged-right approach to body copy? It may make the white space theme pop even more. Well-done, consistent and cohesive approach throughout.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Albert Lea Tribune Entry Title: Typography and Design-Albert Lea Tribune Entry Credit: Albert Lea Tribune Judge Comment: Nice use of font for main or feature headlines. Not a big fan of colored type, but tasteful use of well-chosen color helps complement the main headline. One knock: Don't like the ads above the flag -- let your content sell the ads, not the other way around! That's a good spot to shine and tease to your editorial content inside.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Bemidji - The Bemidji Pioneer Entry Title: Typography and Design Entry Credit: Bemidji Pioneer Judge Comment: Good color reproduction and main font choice made this a close third place. Nice column sigs. Photos used large when appropriate. Solid, workable design!
