First Award: The Star News,<br />
Medford: “Medford Curling state” -<br />
Mandi Troiber, Kelly Schmidt,T odd<br />
Lundy, Tresa Blackburn: I like the<br />
use of action photos, rather than a<br />
team lineup. This give the reader a<br />
small feel for the competition and a<br />
better poster approach for the advertisers.<br />
Group E<br />
First Award: Grant County Herald<br />
Independent, Lancaster: “Lancaster<br />
Wrestling Champs” - Jessica<br />
Brownell, A.J. Gates: This looks<br />
more like a poster for a wrestling<br />
event. Strong photography, good use<br />
of font and graphics. (Almost a little<br />
heavy on the advertising, which you<br />
won’t hear from many publishers.)<br />
Second Award: Ripon<br />
Commonwealth Press: “Pep Rally<br />
Video” - Tami Conlon, Tim Lyke:<br />
The best part of this is that so many<br />
will be looking for themselves in this<br />
picture. Good use of the tiger’s eyes<br />
at the top.<br />
Third Award: Lake Geneva Regional<br />
News: “Baker House” - Michael Reinsissel,<br />
Phil Bonyata: The dramatic<br />
nighttime picture, and the coloring<br />
of the ad make this look like “The”<br />
Award to dine and/or spend the<br />
night.<br />

Group D<br />
First Award: Door County Advocate,<br />
Sturgeon Bay: “Quite a cast of<br />
characters” - Scott Schmeltzer: Why<br />
not go with your strengths: Fishing<br />
and your great staff. I like the torn<br />
newspaper with the Door County<br />
Advocate centered just right. Could<br />
be a series and deserves to be run<br />
often.<br />
Second Award: Door County<br />
Advocate, Sturgeon Bay: “I’ve got<br />
issues” - Scott Schmeltzer: Great use<br />
of a catch phrase that lends itself<br />
very conveniently to newspapers.<br />
I see lots of possibilities with these<br />
T-shirts.<br />
Group E<br />
First Award: Ripon Commonwealth<br />

they can get.<br />

tie into the number of local pages<br />
you print every year.<br />

Unique approach to the food<br />
