Competition Comment: The first-place winner in this category is a good example for other schools to follow: A dominant photo; informative captions; minimal copy; strong, large headline. Some schools seem unclear on the importance of dominant photos in design, especially in photo stories. A photo story should be more than a collection of photos: It should be a grouping that tells a story.
