Judge Feedback: Incredible storytelling and excellent reporting - the history, interview and narrative all enriched this story. Plus, I learned a lot about the schvitz! Amazing work. I recommend you pitch this for publication elsewhere.

Judge Feedback: Great job covering a range of issues touching on social media use. Loved the social media survey and infographic- really great reporting. I would've liked to see a stronger narrative and more evidence/citations throughout. Great work.

Judge Feedback: Very informative article bringing attention to the arts. Strong writing. Good paragraphing, explanations and quotes. I would've liked to see more emotion/narrative in this story --I could tell with each exhibit description there was more story to be told. This piece would've been even stronger if you had chosen one exhibit and really dug into it, speaking with the student(s) who contributed. Great work!
