Special Sections or Special Editions ( Non-Daily Group 3)Back

  • Place Name: First Place
    Contestant Name: Rappahannock Record
    Entry Title: Bay Heritage
    Entry Credit: Staff
    Judge Comment: Beautiful publication and tribute to the heritage of this area. The photos were knockouts and the good writing made it clear this was not just another glossy advertising supplement. Your entry said this was the first time for this supplement. I would look forward to next year's edition if I lived in your market.
  • Place Name: Second Place
    Contestant Name: The Breeze
    Entry Title: Basketball Preview
    Entry Credit: Staff
    Judge Comment: One of three entries from The Breeze and it's what a good season preview section should be. All of the stories, the stats, the photos and the predictions. Too many color headlines for me but I'm sure it delighted the basketball fans in your market.
  • Place Name: Third Place
    Contestant Name: The News & Record
    Entry Title: Past, Present & Future of Halifax County Public Schools
    Entry Credit: staff entry
    Judge Comment: Great concept for a special section. Content was OK, but more attention to design would have placed this higher.
