Day 3 Begins ... When Will it End?

Good morning from Syracuse, where the sun is actually out and the judges are getting down to work on the final day of the 28th annual competition.

The SND-IWD is up and running, sort of, with a few late-night casualties still MIA. But rest assured, our intrepid reporters are in the field poised to pounce on the final day's winners as they arrive. The biggest question is what time we'll wrap up the judging today — and there's no real way to tell just yet.

Where do things stand? The news judges are beginning work on redesigns (page redesign first), the long form judges are working special section covers, and the features judges are now working on magazine overall design. The small newspaper judges are continuing their steady march through their entries, and the graphics judges are actually close to being first to the finish line. They'll likely do reprints as their final category of the weekend.

Stay tuned to SND.org all day long as we wrap up the 28th judging and deliver breaking news of the final top 10 winners as well as the World's Best Designed Newspapers later today at the conclusion of the judging.
