  • Place Name: First Place
    Contestant Name: Suffolk News-Herald
    Entry Title: Made in Suffolk
    Entry Credit: Jen Jaqua, Staff
    Judge Comment: Took a circular concept to design and kept it simple and incredibly effective with superb selection of the photos. Carried design from table of contents through all the features and played it well consistently. Writing was engaging and directed to the intended audience. Given the novel approach it would have been easy to fall over to designing for other designers rather than to serve the readers but Made in Suffolk avoids the pitfall with simple elegance.
