Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Detroit Lakes Tribune Entry Title: Detroit Lakes Tribune Use of Photography as a Whole Entry Credit: Staff of the Detroit Lakes Tribune Judge Comment: From the front cover 1/3 page top fold photo to the back page, this paper has a minimum of 2 photos for every story. I can tell they are limited on color but they make good use of the pages that they have for pictures.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Fergus Falls - The Daily Journal Entry Title: Daily Journal Media Entry Credit: Heather Kantrud Judge Comment: Good use of photos for every story. I was impressed with photos taken at the scene. Example, two car crashes at the scene, artist at work not just his finished project. These tell a story much better.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Austin Daily Herald Entry Title: Austin Daily Herald Use of Photography as a Whole Entry Credit: Eric Johnson, Michael Stoll, Rocky Stoll Judge Comment: Really like the use of front page photos. I love the cropped photo on front page of Feb.13th edition. Full of photos, some were blurry however, which is why 3rd place over 2nd. May have been bad copy that i was sent.
