Haliburton, The Highlander

You demonstrate exactly what you described in the submission description. You took a simple idea to the next level with great design, eye catching images and simple, clean text. Great way to think outside the box!

North Wellington Community News

At first glance I thought this was an ad for a sports bar! Great way to create attention. My suggestion – would change the image at the bottom to be more food focused, maybe showing a football spread or something, rather than just the tv.

Elmira-Woolwich Observer

Love this ad! Great use of colour, making the photo stand out really well. My only critique would be to keep thoughts together in the headline - Storewide Sale then new line: On Now! Keeping the on now together.

Judge GENERAL COMMENT Excellent entries overall. Watch grammar, punctuation, and spelling! Remember, logos don’t have to go at the top of the ad, it’s not the headline.
