Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Southwestern College Entry Title: Culture, Sports and Zoom Entry Credit: Julia Woock Judge Comment: The headlines did a lot in a small space, especially Wheels and Joyful Racquet. They captured the flavor of the stories. Joyful Racquet elevated an ordinary story. Better zoom than tomb might have been a bit over the top. It wasn't like the clubs had much choice. Very easy to choose this entry for first place.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Mills College Entry Title: Best Headlines by Iris Kingery Entry Credit: Iris Kingery Judge Comment: Sophisticated headlines for sophisticated, thoughtful stories. I would have liked to have seen the "Bitch" head incorporate the author's feelings about the merger somehow.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Mt. San Antonio Entry Title: Shut your mouth and open your ears... Entry Credit: Aaron Story Judge Comment: Rhino headline had good imagery that captured the author's feelings about the store's importance and comeback. The other heads pulled no punches. Good for you!
Competition Comment: The best headlines not only accurately reflect the facts of the story, but they also capture the flavor and the tone.
