- Judges' Comments
This category needs more creative input from the picture editor. Most of the pages were numbingly similar. The action moments were good, but not exceptional. I chose three pages that demonstrated a more creative approach to the editing of sports pictures.
Putting an off-beat sport on the section front and treating it in an equally off-beat way is a refreshing change from the predictable look of most sports pages. The typeface also helps.
First place and third place sports section fronts took good (but unspectacular) sports pictures and combined them to create interesting, informative and entertaining section fronts.
Much like the first place entry the symmetry of the layout using different images from the same event made this stand out from the other entries
