Meet Otto: SND's 28th Judge

Somewhere between the 6th Man and the 19th Hole lies Otto the Orange, SND's 28th Judge. While the 27 official judges of SND's Best of Newspaper Design competition pour over the thousands of entries on the tables at Drumlins, the Syracuse University mascot will be one step ahead of them, picking out his favorite entries from the day. His choices, however, in no way reflect either winners or losers in the competition. (His picks are non-binding as there have been allegations that he can be a bit of a cheerleader for his own publication, The Daily Orange ('natch). Also, some have pointed out that he is, in fact, a "citrus fruit.")

But with so much great work on the tables here, we thought you might enjoy seeing some pages that Otto likes. Point your browser over to Flickr and filter for photos tagged "snd28otto" or just click here.

Again, keep in mind that Otto's Picks are not part of the competition. This is only an exhibition. Please, no wagering.
