Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Richmond Free Press Entry Title: Reed Memorial Entry Credit: April Coleman Judge Comment: I found this ad more compelling then the other memorial tributes. I would have liked to see the black background at the top carried through the entire ad - with maybe the black, think border surrounding the text too.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Richmond Free Press Entry Title: Dorothy Taylor 80th Birthday Memoriam Entry Credit: April Coleman Judge Comment: Use of the photo to dominate the ad size helps differentiate this ad from all the others. Good work.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Richmond Free Press Entry Title: Happy Birthday 99th Dunson Entry Credit: April Coleman Judge Comment: Well played art. The balloons distract from the ad and the impact of cropping the art around the 99 and the gentlemen would have made this ad more impactful.
