  • Place Name: First Place
    Contestant Name: Blue Earth - Faribault County Register
    Entry Title: Blue Earth Light and Water
    Entry Credit: Kristin Woodwick
    Judge Comment: A very competitive category but the Blue Earth entry excels. Nice balance of logo color with the rest of the piece. Sells the 'green' movement subliminally.
  • Place Name: Second Place
    Contestant Name: Wadena Pioneer Journal
    Entry Title: Oak Valley Greenhouse
    Entry Credit: Britanie Rentz, Katie Hastings
    Judge Comment: Fantastic use of background art to blend with the customers products make them leap off the page. Someday hopefully you'll get a chance at redesigning your customers logo - your talents would go a long way in freshening up their look.
  • Place Name: Third Place
    Contestant Name: Hallock - Kittson County Enterprise
    Entry Title: Bully Brew
    Entry Credit: Margie Holmgren
    Judge Comment: Top notch design shows size doesn't matter as this entry is a knock out. Perfect use of color on the type to reflect the tulip is what really delivers the message on this great piece of work.
  • Competition Comment: None
