A creatively written and visually appealing feature that effectively uses rich media to highlight the stunt school.

Judge Comment:
A well-written feature with a strong use of interviews and statistics to provide context on an important local resource. The slower, feature-driven lead effectively introduces the topic, and related articles are well-integrated in the web version. Improving the quality of the video and print images, particularly by addressing audio issues and using higher-resolution visuals, would enhance the overall presentation and reader engagement.
