Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Wausau Daily Herald Entry Title: Video feature profile on Newton Marshall, dog sledder from Jamaica Entry Credit: Tork Mason Judge Comment: Pretty good video overall, good elements with the profiled individual. Though more background could have been added to flesh the video out more, like done to the print version.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: The Chippewa Herald Entry Title: Making cheese curds six days a week is a labor of love in Cadott Entry Credit: Audrey Korte Judge Comment: A good business story, though oddly more use of photos from within the business than video b-roll, which was disappointing.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: The Sheboygan Press Entry Title: Sparky's Hot Dog stand in Sheboygan is a niche in a brat town Entry Credit: Gary Klein Judge Comment: A very cool video on this niche business, though commentary from customers would have greatly improved this video (and vaulted it higher in the awards).
