Any coverage on a topic that adds to spread contents. Submit entire spread and CLEARLY INDICATE WHICH COVERAGE YOU WISH JUDGED by including the sidebar’s headline in the Additional Information field. Submit a PDF or image file of the page(s). FOR SPREADS (a spread is two facing pages), if possible save your entry as a spread, creating a single horizontal page out of two vertical pages. Otherwise, the judges may not see both pages of your spread together and will not get the full impact of your design.
