    Judge Comment: Such a great review showing that while the media may not be for the critic, it may be for someone else. That someone else being someone without taste.
  • Place Name: Third Place
    Contestant Name: Amarillo College
    Entry Title: 'Beetlejuice' sequel leaves some fans disappointed
    Entry Credit: Haelis Amundgaard
    Judge Comment: When diving into media, you don't want to only write about things that made you happy. You need to write about things that upset you, and you did.
  • Place Name: Honorable Mention
    Contestant Name: Trinity University
    Entry Title: ‘Uzumaki’ is a shocking disappointment
    Entry Credit: Om Dighe
    Judge Comment: The only anime I've watched is Pokémon and everything Studio Ghibli, but I felt like I would be upset too with this media.
  • Competition Comment: The main takeaway from this is you need to make sure your voice is heard loud and clear throughout your stories. If it's just TTP, it's not interesting. Continue the great work, except for the one I graded a 1. You need to get better immediately if this is something you want to pursue as a career.
