Headline Writing

1st- Clare Bacarella  (Monroe Co. Community College)

Judge comments:

Quick and clever without being trite. The reader knows exactly what's coming. An example of less is more. Good job.

​

2nd- Kim Geyer (Northwestern Michigan College)

Judge comments:

A headline that makes me want to read more, and it does so with a punchy rhythm. You have a good ear for the inner music of words.

​

3rd- Sesa Graham (Delta College)

Judge comments:

A solid entry that easily gets its point across and uses alliteration unobtrusively.
You stayed on the right side of the line on a delicate subject.

​

Honorable Mention- Tyler Stewart (Henry Ford College)

Judge comments:

I read this to several friends, and they all laughed for the right reason. It would
serve well as the title for a segment by John Oliver or Jon Stewart, BUT in the newspaper world, it needed a deck head to flesh out the idea.

Honorable Mention- Washtenaw Voice Team from Washtenaw Community College

Judge comments:

A headline with a nice rhythm, but it assumes the reader will understand what the
story is about. A deck head would help get the point across. Still, a worthy entry.
