Y-26. Feature Presentation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An unusual feature spread from any section or multiple spreads designed as a unit to explore a topic; typically non-traditional coverage (i.e., NOT<\/em><\/strong> homecoming, a sport or other annual activity typically covered every year in the book). Mini-mags, special sections and special supplements may be entered in this category. Subject selection, writing, photography and design will be considered. Submit up to 5 PDFs or image files of the page(s). FOR SPREADS (a spread is two facing pages), if possible <\/strong>save your entry as a spread<\/a>, 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<\/strong>. Contiguous pages should be submitted in a single PDF file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
