Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: C-ville Weekly Entry Title: Show and tell Entry Credit: Erin O'Hare Judge Comment: From her engaging lede to her full-circle close, Erin O'Hare took what could’ve been a simple who-what-when-where preview story and turned it into a sweeping feature. She included details that really bring the story to life. It also includes a nice sidebar.
