Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Inside NoVa/Prince William Entry Title: Body of Work Entry Credit: Jaksa Gabric Judge Comment: This is a great variety of design work that really showcases this designer's capabilities. The sports page is fantastic with the large main photo and a great cutout at the bottom that emphasizes the theme of the page. The front page layout looks very professional and clean and I like the voting results chart. The baking layout is fun and cute.

Entry Credit: Max March Judge Comment: A combination of classic and modern newspaper design makes for an interesting package layout that is both simple/easy to read and visually appealing. I love the small aspects integrated into each page, like the "Hangover Helper" on page 26 and "Early Bird" on page 25.
