Name	Certificate	Entry	Judge's Comment(s)
Sama Lilo	Honorable Mention - News or Feature Photo	The Magic and Grandeur of the Night	Nice contrast in your photo. Interesting designs. As a photographer always look for different angles to shoot the photo from.
Sydney Koranyi	Honorable Mention - Editorial	Is it worth the effort Character Matters	Good job A topic that can inspire students to understand who they are and where they are going
Sydney Koranyi	2nd Place - Cartooning	How important is it?	With what could be life-or-death issue for faculty and students, or som student's vulnerable grandparent. It has great strength of dealing directly with a school issue. It is well done, only a hair's breadth less visually strking and bull's eye target than the winner. The covid blobs are all too familiar imagery, but hovering over the school building, they are appropriate to the point.
The Phoenix Times	1st Place - Best Newscast	ASE News - Year End Report 2021	Excellent video work. Students were well-spoken and easy to understand. Good content, sounds like a great place to go to school!
