This story features an interesting philosophy on faith-centered dementia care. It could have benefitted from deeper reporting and more sources -- the reporter could've led this story with the "coming out party" or the church's approach to accommodating older patrons.

Love that the monarchs are in focus. The bright colors of the butterflies really pop off the page.

Well written; great use of sources from throughout the Pinehurst golf world.

The crispness of each photo highlights the fun everyone was having. It perfectly describes a fun afternoon with friends, from beginning to end.

To the point with style. Only the German reference was a bit obscure.

A lovely story told with grace and feeling that captured so many emotions. Fine writing.

pretty good coverage of zoning issues in this area, as well as the impact of the golf tournament. Nice business feature in one edition.

A thorough examination of a moment, a legacy and how a star's death impacts so many

Deborah Salomon is a top-notch columnist. Her column, "A Different Kind of Dad" is heartwarming and not the usual spin you would expect someone writing about their father. She does an excellent job in detailing his life. I love how she finds reasons to lift her father in high regard, though they seemed to be rather unconventional ways.

I really liked the concept behind this. It is a clean looking page and the content is reminds readers what local businesses have for sale for dad.

Excellent photo of the early morning training session. The sun and the "breath" puts the viewer right there. If I would change anything, I would have run it larger.

Now that is a dynamic page. Flows so nicely together. Layout is astounding. Makes you take everything in at once, then break down into further detail.

Excellent work. Clever takes on (mostly) universal topics. Goofy but smart.

The choice of simple color is great with this listing. Elegant dark green frames the property, drawing attention to the house and landscaping.

This didn't have as nice of a header as 2nd place, but I like the idea of the page equally.

Beautiful - What a great job spotlighting the beauty and charm of this property - simple and elegant!

The commission of the artist to create the 'collective' theme paid off! You the nail on the head with the bold and big that draws the eye to the advertisements. Listing out multiple sponsors on a page can sometimes become cumbersome, but your layout was clean, attractive, and cohesive. Great job to all those involved in the ad campaign.
