Visually draws the reader in to the ad to take in a lot of information. Great idea, well executed.Sharp looking ad. Good use of photos and graphics. Typically boring coupons are given life as 3D images popping off the page.

Place Name: Honorable Mention Contestant Name: Wausau Pilot and Review Entry Title: Sauvee Creative Living Entry Credit: Shereen Siewert Judge Comment: Creative background picks up the colors from the carpet in the photo.
