This story really does it all in writing about some Whistler "myths" or “unofficial history.” It has a refreshing and entertaining approach, and excellent graphics too.

Every entry in this category was interesting to read, but the top-two winners went above and beyond in terms of depth, unique approach and graphic presentation. The third-place winner was the best of the stories that involved several interviews and background research.
