Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: The Advance-Titan Entry Title: The historical buildings of UWO Entry Credit: Owen Peterson Judge Comment: Unfortunately, it was far easier to hear the background music than it was to hear the voiceover. Otherwise, this entry would have placed higher. Nonetheless, this was a very interesting way to showcase the university's history. Nice job of incorporating original photos. Very cool tie-in to the overall collegiate gothic theme and explaining what that is and how that can be found across other university campuses nationwide (which also taught me a little about my own alma mater in Florida!).
