Single Issue of an Ongoing Print Magazine: Design
- Third Place: Vox magazine. Kristin Kellogg, art director, Taryn Wood, assistant art director; Jennifer Rowe, adviser.
Judge's Comments: "Excellent job of relating the college student perspective on an important issue for that audience. Loaded with real-world perspective that helps any reader, whether they've had credit trouble or not, understand the importance of the issue. Underscores both the short-term and long-term importance of this topic to the magazine's target audience. Great 'by the numbers' sidebar at the end. This type of sidebar is all the more effective and important to accompany long articles such as this." Bob Gray, design consultant for AARP.org and former design editor at National Geographic.

Consumer Magazine Article: Investigation and Analysis
- Honorable Mention: "Payday Loans," by Rose Raymond; Jennifer Rowe, adviser.
Judge's Comments: "Solid reporting, with good quotes. Background research supports the reporting, and both are put into context of an emerging trend and political issue. A little how-to advice finishes the article off. A well-crafted package." Ken Collier, editor of Reader's Digest's Family Handyman.

Consumer Magazine Article: Service and Information
- Honorable Mention: "Credit Counts," by Sara Shahriari.
Judge's Comments: "Excellent job of relating the college student perspective on an important issue for that audience.

Underscores both the short-term and long-term importance of this topic to the magazine's target audience. Great 'by the numbers' sidebar at the end.
