    Judge Comment: There's a lot to like in this magazine, but the organization was a little off in spots and the art was not quite as strong as the winning entry.

    Contestant Name: Virginia Business Magazine
    Entry Title: Virginia Business - March, October, December issues

    Judge Comment: This magazine has some attractive design in spots, but in other spots it seems jammed together. The 100 People to Meet feature looks a bit like a puzzle.
