    Judge Comment: There were a LOT of political ads in this competition. This one stood out because it's plain and simple, and catches the eye with the oversized picture. Most of the ads had much too much wording, which the average reader will never bother to look at.
  • Competition Comment: SO MANY great ads in this competition!! I really wanted a fifth spot for Miss Lilly's "vote for us" ad. Not only would I vote for them, but I want to go shop at her store!
