    Judge Comment: Dynamic graphic design, focal points exude energy. I'd be careful about getting too clever and complicated with headline art like Part 1, as it can become unreadable. Otherwise, this entry really stands out from the others

    Entry Title: Wonewoc-Center volleyball at state
    Entry Credit: Logan Everson
    Judge Comment: Not sure about the angled copy. Otherwise, dynamic layout and art.

    Judge Comment: Layout is nice with variety.
  • Competition Comment: When community calendar page entries compete with sports page layout, design, and art, there is an uneven comparison. Perhaps there should be a separate competition for community calendar pages?
