  • Place Name: Third Place
    Contestant Name: Harrisburg High School
    Entry Title: McKinley Ave Baptist Church - Ad Campaign
    Entry Credit: Gabby Dooley
    Judge Comment: I wasn't sure if the entire page was the ad or if the ad was limited to the very bottom of the page. That uncertainty prevented this from placing higher. If the ad is only what's contained at the bottom of the page, then the designer is to be commended for a solid and succinct presentation.
  • Competition Comment: None
