Dallas Morning News Update

The results are in! And I was awarded third place and $100. According to our professor, the editors really liked mine the best but wanted the word 'criticism' to be more legible, but had no time to have me fix it before they published the paper, so they chose someone else's illustration. My question is, if that was the case, then why did I get third place and not second?! Oh well, I still won a hundred bucks! Horray!
