Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Ashburn Magazine Entry Title: Pond Roofing Entry Credit: Connie Fields, Creative Staff Judge Comment: Outstanding ad for a roofing company. The home image is immaculate (especially the roof); the layout allows the eye to naturally progress through the information; colors are vivid and vibrant; the offers are clear and not overly wordy; the services offered packs a ton of information into a limited space without making it look/feel crowded.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Ashburn Magazine Entry Title: Art Beyond Impressions Entry Credit: Connie Fields, Creative Staff Judge Comment: What an excellent use of color and ad concept to showcase the artists unique talent. The information flows naturally alongside the image and the contact info is prominent and legible. The headshot works well to humanize the artist.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: The Rivah Visitor's Guide Entry Title: Crowther Heating and Air Entry Credit: Stephanie Feria, Marilyn Bryant Judge Comment: Another fantastic layout allows a beautiful image to do most of the work. The picture perfect home immediately draws the readers gaze and the information is direct and well placed. The "CHAC" color palette is a perfect compliment to the flowers in the image and does well to bring the entire ad together.
