So glad you made that celebration photo large. It provides an excellent point of entry and tells a great story. Good use of head and deck head. Good cutline information.

I like the schedule box but the bear logo is too redundant with the logo in the folio. The soccer photo is hard to read. Crop it closer to the action. But I really like the mix of content here.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Brookhaven College Entry Title: Issue 43-05 – Sports Page 6 Entry Credit: Rosa Poetschke Judge Comment: A few tweaks here and there and this page would sing. I just don't like the huge amount of images stacked in the center of the page from top to bottom. For the basketball story, I would just go with the strongest image and make it three columns. And I would box in the Q&A vs. using a hairline separation. But readers love a Q&A. For the pull quote, I think the font could be larger and the leading reduced. The font color for the title line is a bit too light.
