Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: UT-Arlington Entry Title: 2022 Election Guide Entry Credit: The Shorthorn staff Judge Comment: Love the use of graphics and space. Double trucks are my favorite pages to design and this one looks like it took hard work and dedication. Only suggestion I would give is I would've attempted a different font style for the headline on page 10.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Baylor Entry Title: March Madness 2022 Entry Credit: Lariat Staff Judge Comment: While I know nothing about sports, this issue taught me a few things. Great use of images throughout each page. I really enjoy double trucks, but I felt this issue's wasn't as strong. The images were good, but I think the typography and bottom text boxes should've been messed around with some more.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: UT-Dallas Entry Title: The Mercury 02 21 22 Entry Credit: Mercury Staff Judge Comment: Really enjoyed the blotter and archived story. My major concern is having all our your continued stories on one page. Just felt like an afterthought. Also, I know UTD's colors are orange, green and white. I would suggest maybe having The Mercury's logo reflect that somehow?
Place Name: Honorable Mention Contestant Name: A&M-College Station Entry Title: The Battalion — November 10, 2022 Entry Credit: The Battalion Staff Judge Comment: Very clean. My one suggestion is to just liven it up a bit. Do some interesting photoshop edits on pictures to have them overlap a headline or something similar. Perhaps even change the color of "The Battalion" to match your school's color.
