Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: The Tidewater News Entry Title: Hometown Realty - Market in Full Bloom Entry Credit: Mitzi Lusk Judge Comment: So creative!! What a unique take on Real Estate advertising. Use of color is excellent; the ad is well balanced and the theme flows throughout; the contact info is prominent but does not take anything away from the design.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: The Farmville Herald Entry Title: LAFOON REALTY Entry Credit: Jackie Newman Judge Comment: Great layout and balance between images/text. The color scheme is bright without being obnoxious; the photos are clear and not pixelated; lots of info about the property is balanced out by white space leaving the reader full without overwhelming them.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Southside Sentinel Entry Title: Virginia Building Solutions Entry Credit: Beth Justice, Joe Gaskins Judge Comment: Excellent header image that immediately draws the readers gaze. The red banner does well to separate the two images and the contact information is prominent and clear.
