Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Amarillo College Entry Title: The Current Fall 2023 Entry Credit: Hayden Splawn, Nadia Colchado, Valerie Salas Judge Comment: Bright, vibrant colors and off-beat design definitely attract the eye. Overall design is a little too busy and distracts from some of the content. But the team who put this together deserve kudos for being daring and breaking the traditional magazine format.
