    Judge Comment: I really liked this ad's use of simplicity to get their point across. It was very effective in that regard. The use of rhyming also helps it stick in your mind. Very evenly spaced all around but still visually appealing. Great job!

    Judge Comment: The simplicity here was perfect for a thank you ad. Nice symmetry and just enough copy. The dancer picture was very effective for this purpose. Nice job!

    Judge Comment: This ad really showed some thought behind the design. I like how the dogs were featured as paintings on a film strip. Very cute and eye catching on a page full of heavy copy. It definitely stands out and would make me want to adopt.
