Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: East Grand Forks - The Exponent Entry Title: Eagles win thrilling double overtime game to advance to State Entry Credit: Bruce Brierley Judge Comment: BRAVO! Love this story! Plenty of visual variety in content. The layout has a great mix of dominant and supporting photos, and each image tells a different piece of the story.

Competition Comment: There were a lot of entries with no captions, which was disappointing. There were also many with overlapping photos, or too many photos in the story/on the page. Editing it tighter would have strengthened many of the entries. Too many photos that are identical weakens a story. Ditto for identical photo sizes on a page.
