Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Alexandria Times Entry Title: Tying the Knot (March, May, October) Entry Credit: James Matheson, Wafir Salih, Caitlyn Meisner, Jessica Kim, AlexTimes Staff Judge Comment: The overly sharpened or embossed photo of the Hyltons took this publication out of the running. I know sunsets are tough, but those waves look like a crinkled piece of paper, and the glow around the couple kills this cover. It is overall a really nice publication, however! I'd just suggest making this publication a bit more elegant since it is wedding-centered.
