Marie 安德伍德, of Dundee, received first place in the “Sports Feature Photo” category.
Werlinger, earned first place in “Illustration,” and second place in “Critical Review.” The judge spoke highly of Werlinger’s writing style in her video game review. “Some excellent prose here that really captures the heart of the game. Werlinger did a great job explaining what the game is, 游戏玩法, and what they like/don’t like about it. In terms of capturing the game as an experience, 这件作品做得很好, and I can tell Werlinger is a talented writer.”
Claire Bacarella, 的梦露, took first place for headline writing and second place for news photo.
Agora freelancer Ethan Kuhl, 的梦露, earned second place for original comic. The judge was impressed with Kuhl’s technique. “It made me think of an old comic. 这很好. A nice technique that reminded me of classic cartoons. And that tells me that Ethan has been influenced, 如果不研究的话, the history of comics and animation. This four-panel is a little Winsor McCay and a little ‘Gerald McBoing-Boing’ and a lot of Ethan Kuhl. 我期待看到更多. 更!”
诺亚黑, 的卡尔顿, earned third place in “Column – Humorous” for his Cryptid Corner column on Bigfoot. The judge said they liked the column’s fun mix of humor and information. “A charming column that turns a monster into an unthreatening cartoon which, 奇怪的是, makes me want to know more about Bigfoot (odd because ‘scary’ often conjures mystery and intrigue). The column also made me want to read more Cryptid Corner entries. The column takes itself just serious enough to make me feel like I’m learning something rather than just waiting for a punchline. 聪明的平衡.”
莱克斯格林伍德, 的梦露, earned an honorable mention in “Feature Story” on how the Michigan Reconnect program has affected enrollment, and the staff earned honorable mention in the front page design category.
