Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: UT-Austin Entry Title: Cactus Yearbook Entry Credit: Chloe Jaimes, Amberlyn Negron Judge Comment: Easily the best of the bunch. I really like the simplicity, the use of specific colors, the cactus for The Cactus and the reference to "This is Texas." It all just works very well without being too busy or overpowering. Excellent cover.

Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Baylor Entry Title: Baylor Roundup 2023: We Are Baylor Entry Credit: Josh McSwain Judge Comment: The texture of the cover is great and a big selling point, but I also like the type and text used. A strong cover.
