The newspaper clearly shows an interest in the arts in the community. The coverage was impressive in the breadth of the issues covered, and a great ability to connect the coverage with societal and community issues. The stories were all informative and well researched and were far more than just a review or a promotion of an event.

Judge Comment:
What is impressive about this newspaper is their ability to dig deep into an arts story as well as providing ongoing coverage of the community.
Competition Comment:
There are a lot of fascinating arts and culture stories being written across the country and the quality of the entries was very high. What set the winners apart was their ability to not only report on the arts in the community, but to tell a bigger story that was more than a review of an event or show and links the arts to other issues and events in the community.
