good design of the ads to promote the music.

A well designed publication that offers a public service.

Easy to understand and follow, entertaining to read.

Gorgeous home, and the photos really show it off. The layout is excellent. Great job!

I love the thoughtful layout of this piece, and the effective ads.

Really an enjoyable read. I felt like I was there with you. I could see and hear what you see and heard. Thanks for the adventure! I was impressed by all three columns.

Stunning ads, gorgeous photos, and lots more to be found in this piece. Makes me want to move to the area!

The reporter does an amazing job drawing the reader in with person accounts of this hard and sensitive issue. While this could have been a simple "event preview" of sorts, the writer instead includes that as a way to learn more but goes the extra mile to help educate through stories, photos and examples of the hardship these people faced and the fallout that has ensued in the years since. Very well done.

This writer did a terrific job using personal accounts to catch the reader's attention and keep them hooked throughout this story. This is such an under reported topic, it's encouraging to see it covered in such a through way. Amazing job.

This ad proves that smaller ads can be very effective!

Informative and very well-written.

Love the family roots of this super cool business. Great story!

A very well-written article that draws the reader in right off the bat by presenting the issue from the perspective of someone who's lived it. Good supplementary information flows smoothly into potential explanations for and solutions to the problem. Well researched, good interviews, and a memorable, punchy final graf. Great work!

Great use of a photo. The choice of the fonts was excellent for the theme of the ad.

Excellent ad. The theme was carried throughout the ad with art, fonts and color.

Really cool story, very well-written. Makes me want to learn more about this project and the man who started it.

Ditto to everything from the first-place comment. Encore.

The writing is excellent, from a compelling peek behind the scenes of a tumultuous election night to play-by-play as party mates eat one another alive. So... come for the writing, stay for the utter roasting of hypocrisy. I can smell the smoke from here. The author does (and does very well) the only thing a good political journalist can these days: drop the facts like a mic and trust that there are still people out there who enjoy not being lied to. [insert standing ovation]

These stories were well-written, used multiple sources and were mostly free of errors. They did a good job of sticking to AP style and being written with a journalistic sense of organization.

A touching account of charity and community.
