    Judge Comment: Again, this paper has nice candid photos with a good variety of images and decent sports photos. Some tighter edits on the packages would have allowed for some to run larger, giving them more impact.
  • Competition Comment: These winner jumped to the top of the pack with a good mix of visual variety in terms of photo size and composition in their photo packages and not relying too heavily on straight forward portraits.
