Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Cedar Rapids - The Gazette Entry Title: HER Stories Entry Credit: Emily Hawk Judge Comment: A superbly designed section from the Cedar Rapids Gazette devoted to the outstanding women of achievement.

Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Cedar Rapids - The Gazette Entry Title: A Date With Destiny (Women's basketball Final Four Section) Entry Credit: Staff Judge Comment: Has anyone heard of Kaitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes women's basketball team? I thought so. It was just the talk of America this past spring. Once again, the Gazette succeeds with a special section about the team that reached the Final Four and helped ignite the hyper-hysteria that swept the nation.
