Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Prospect High School Entry Title: Paving future of girls' athletics Entry Credit: Amanda Feinberg Judge Comment: Great story with a strong lead. It's also timely and important. The anecdote about the sign is amusing and affecting simultaneously.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Washington Community High School Entry Title: Walcott shares fascinating experiences Entry Credit: Tristan Bailey Judge Comment: Good piece with a strong sense of how to tell an engaging story. The subject is attractive to students and will help them to think about the power of their own lives. The opening could be more quickly anecdotal, though the story it eventually tells is compelling.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: West Chicago High School Entry Title: Humans of WEGO: From equations to keepsakes: Aaron Hayes frames a legacy Entry Credit: Logan Reed Judge Comment: Good story with strong anecdotes about an attractive subject. The anecdotal portion of the lead could come before the more general and informational part. That small change would help draw in readers.
