An all-time high

ED: "Jerry, I hate to interrupt, but we've got a new record... "
JERRY: "Well let's SEE THOSE NUMBERS!"

It's official. The 1,300th winner for the 28th edition was just logged with the data entry desk here in Syracuse and we've still got hundreds of entries left on the tables. That means this year's competition will deliver an all-time record number of winners, breaking what we believe to be the previous mark of 1,237 in the 24th edition.

The 1,300th winner is an award for the San Francisco Chronicle Magazine in the cover design category for "Local Fiction."
