Judges comments - "This photo is poetic. Its cropping is what makes it work, drawing the eye to the photo of the deceased woman at the center. The powerfully muscled bodies of the hourses in the background and thier muzzles with wide-open nostrils appear to be holding back for just a moment, so that we can take in what has been lost before they charge forward, since life can and must go on."

Judges comments - "I really enjoyed the effort that went into the track cutouts used in the masthead. It's a great point of entry. I really liked the track girls who appear to be leaping out of the D in Dunn. It gives the page a very attractive and exciting feel. As a side not, the use of color in the masthead is done very well. Some might say the masthead is a bit busy with so many items; however, I really enjoyed it. I can see where this type of attention is likely to enhance the reader to go there each day not only to see what's in the paper, but what new and different element will be tried. Good work on trying to make you paper more exciting and relevant to the reader."
