A straightforward - if lengthy - approach to headline writing.

Good job on detailing the reasons for covering local elections. Supporting photos a bonus. Weekend editions are as important as regular editions and a place to get these stories in front of more readers. Nice work! 3rd place.

Engaging article - plenty of history, multiple sources, supporting photographs and easy readability factor online. Another tough contest category with really hard-hitting subjects, but had it not been for that, this might have landed in a 1st or 2nd place. - Congratulations on 3rd place.

Interesting focus on a topic not usually covered. Good job

Coverage of a topic that surfaces more and more. Good job finding young people taking the roles while pointing out the traditional as well.
