Judges were allowed to choose as many winning entries as they wished, and they could provide comments or not. I would encourage everyone to read through the comments, because there is some good advice in there for college journalists. #

Thanks to all who entered, and thanks to the judges who participated as well. And congratulations to the winners. #

Best Overall Multimedia
General Comments: Lots of content by lack of comments indicates that social media should be used more prominently. Don’t just rely on comments alone. Let users post to Facebook and other sites. #

Top picks in order:
1. Mustang Daily, Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo
Great use of social media tools, clean layout, easy to navigate. #

2. Daily Eastern News, Eastern Illinois University
Lots of content – easy to find. Excellent use of multimedia channels. #

3. Mason Votes, George Mason University
Smart, clean layout. Not the best tag cloud (WordPress plugin, it looks like?) – hard to click on tags. Showing random XHTML code in some entries. #
