    Judge Comment: This ad had a nice layout and showcased a lot of copy in an easy to read format. I liked the line dividing the image from the copy as it simulated an ocean wave harkening back to the fact that it's a boating company. Nice job!

    Judge Comment: While this ad has a fair amount of copy, it was still displayed well, and there was good use of color. My eye first went to the top line, then to the teams playing and finally to the advertiser's logo, thus pulling me in to the pertinent information.
