    Judge Comment: Writer is able to keep the reader interested despite the extreme length of the articles. Paring down the stories might have made them a little more effective, though writer did have a lot to work with.

    Judge Comment: Solid stories on CFL players but would have liked to see the mental health aspect moved higher in the first story. Solid stories had everything but could have used a little rearranging.
  • Competition Comment: Strong stories from all entrants made it a difficult choice.
