Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Harrisburg High School Entry Title: The Purple Clarion Online Entry Credit: Clarion Staff Judge Comment: Reverse header with socials, date, and search bar are well done. Effective navigation bar with interactive drop down. Clean footer. Stories could use some internal/external links. Photos could be better optimized for web as file size affects page load time. Mobile is responsive. Well done, Harrisburg!

Try to add an image to each story, even if it's from a free stock photo site. This can provide better visitor engagement and add an overall dynamic to the site. Photos could be better optimized for web as file size affects the page load time. Mobile is responsive. Good job, Okawville!
