Beautiful flames behind the fireman but may be a bit out of focus. and I think that maybe it should have gone above the dogs

You've captured pure joy on their faces!

In a relatively short feature, this writer has managed to pack a lot of interest into a small package. The intro instantly captures your interest and the interview delivers.

This is a very attractive, well written and solidly edited publication. It's obvious local is important.

Excellent coverage of an issue many communities face-approving zoning changes for affordable housing. The details made the difference, such as the possible tax loss if property values of the existing houses were to drop. These issues can become heated, so good job telling the story and not the arguing.

I love this one - the color of the sparks and its pretty sharp for a night photo - fireman cutting into vehicles

Nice idea, good layout. A little more art style in design would have made it more dynamic.

Great local content and images. Just not quite as visually engaging with the content arrangement.

Does a great job at foreshadowing the Crepe Myrtle Celebration. A mixture of ads geared towards the event. I can tell it is something the community cherishes.

Simple, effective idea and layout. Super idea and well executed. Kudos all around.

Not a lot going on, but it draws your eye in due to the background and coloring choices

Showcasing the actually written letters is an exciting way to engage the kids and their families. I also like that you showcase ads up top; I believe that is great for giving advertisers extra attention.

Yes please - A tub like that would be great! Makes me want to look at the other great options they have!
