Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: UT-Rio Grande Valley Entry Title: KVAQ Sports Entry Credit: KVAQ-TV Staff Judge Comment: Very striking look and feel to this team's social presence, important as they build their social presence from the ground up. Clear brand consistency throughout their posts in iconography and color, making their content stand out in an often busy algorithmic social landscape. There's a focus on producing quality content with strong, crisp visuals and clear audio on video postings. I appreciate that they're thinking with a multi-platform mindset. Great work!

It feels like Prospector's team treats the gallery carousel like a magazine photo spread and plans them accordingly. The boxing feature is particularly well done--I kept flipping through it!
