    Contestant Name: Richmond Magazine
    Entry Title: Bold Women

    Judge Comment: The choice of all black-and-white portraits sets this publication apart from the others. Templated design works well, and treatment of sponsors within it is extremely clean and professional. Length of the profile of each subject is ideal -- long enough to be informative. but short enough people will actually read them. Feedback: On cover, especially since the images are postage-stamp size, crop the headshots much more tightly so their faces are much more prominent.
  • Place Name: Second Place

    Entry Title: Women & Wellness

    Judge Comment: Clean design that flows well, with good use of color as an accent. Nice execution on time lines and sidebars; love the font on those, too. Feedback: Nearly all photos need color correction.
