Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Midwestern Entry Title: Voices 2022-2023 - "Bird Watching" Entry Credit: Grace Ainsworth Judge Comment: Original use of photos and combination of photos. Striking. I like the authors on the back cover. Canting of the sign is nice. Good interest/focal point on the front.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Dallas College - Brookhaven Entry Title: The Windmill Vol. 8 Cover Entry Credit: Tabitha N. Tudor Judge Comment: Inventive way to re-invent an image for the front and back of a journal. Harmony in color. Reflects its geographic area. While I'm not fond of the font used, it reflects a relationship to the name of the journal.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Tarrant County College - Trinity River Entry Title: Roots & Reflections Entry Credit: Alejandro Rivera, Lisbeth Villalpando Judge Comment: Carries the journal name into the artwork for readers. Makes use of a front and back cover using both title words. Wish the fonts were more related. Grabs attention.
Competition Comment: A nice variety of art in the journal cover entries. The winners seemed to relate art to their journal names and used distinctive images.
