    Judge Comment: This ad was super effective in showing what it needed to convey to the reader. I love the use of the QR code as a present. Very creative. This had a lot of copy but was displayed in a way that wasn't overwhelming and still effective. Great job!

    Judge Comment: This one is very straightforward in what it's conveying, but with all the copy, it could easily get lost in the sea of text in a newspaper. I think the designer(s) did a great job in laying this out in a easily legible format and sizing proportionate with all the content.
