Judge Comment: A good sense of design principals carries this issue to the No. 1 spot. Solid understanding means you can branch out and be more daring. Good job!
- Place Name: Second Place
Contestant Name: Dallas College - Eastfield
Entry Title: ETC Issue 55-08

Judge Comment: Solid entry. Try to rein it in on going too far out and err on the side of keeping it simple when you can (red type on blue background is hard to read; cutout on top of photos is mean to your photographer! -- and also a little busy). However, this issue shows a grasp of the fundamentals. Good work.
- Place Name: Third Place
Contestant Name: Dallas College - Brookhaven
Entry Title: The Courier, Issue 45-06
Entry Credit: Aimee Morgan, The Brookhaven Courier Staff
Judge Comment: When running more than one photo, it's best to group them together instead of spreading them out and wrapping the text around them. Besides that, though, this is a solid entry that shows the designer(s) understand hierarchy, balance and when to let the art do the talking. Good job.
- Place Name: Honorable Mention
Contestant Name: Amarillo College
Entry Title: October 10, 2024

Judge Comment: Great election page. Watch how much space you give headlines (see first few inside pages) where art or a pullquote could fill that room instead. Solid and good work.
- Competition Comment: None
