Great job with sharing some life experiences with readers, especially the column about losing your boy. While this is a writing category, the pictures that went with the column are priceless. Thanks for sharing. I also like how you focused on one of your loyal readers, who sometimes are overlooked in the busyness of being a journalist.

Great photos to go with the story

This story tugs at the heartstrings, partly because joint interview was done before husband died. Wonderful trip through their lives and time together for readers. Well done.

Great quotes

Fantastic story, photos and layout by Richard Holm. Nice work making it a complete package. Recognizing a local business with legacy deserved the attention Holm gave it. I appreciated seeing the cutlines for all the photos. This was well done, with plenty of contributions scattered throughout the story. Congratulations on 2nd place!

Few words with strong art still tell a good story

Good ad design, and the use of colors sets this ad apart from the other Readers Choice winners ads.

I placed this signature ad towards the top of the entries right away as the photo and simple layout was impressive. Color and creativity!

Bold colors, nice font, pleasing to look at
