Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: The Crozet Gazette Entry Title: Dogwood Real Estate Entry Credit: Allie Pesch Judge Comment: Visually, this ad is clean and well-composed and provides a lot of information without feeling cluttered. Thoughtful use of color, the light blue gradient behind the column of realtors is a nice touch, as is having the mirror images of the logo at the top and bottom of the page. Having the picture with the dogs for "Dogwood" Realty is also cute.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: The Breeze Entry Title: Matchbox Entry Credit: Jacob Perez Judge Comment: This Matchbox ad is fire! I like the clean, bold look of this ad. The red stands out and is used effectively and the message is clear and easy to read. Solid branding.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: The Crozet Gazette Entry Title: Stay in Crozet Entry Credit: Allie Pesch Judge Comment: I just really liked the simplicity of this ad, with lots of white space and two main colors that complement each other well. The font choice was good too: Unique enough to stand out but also easy to read. I've never been to Crozet, but this ad did make me want to "Stay in Crozet."
