What made them different? VIctors? VIsion? VItality? VIbrancy?

Six. Seis. VI.

That’s all that remains in the World’s Best-Designed Newspaper (TM) Competition. The finalists are now on the table for review, judges are pushing ahead and discussing where they are headed now. Rest assured they will then tell us what set these six apart.

Since the judges have made such terrific time getting through the entries (they are at least a day ahead of “pace”), they have lots of flexibility to dig into the remaining newspapers — and that’s exactly what they intend to do. No voting is expected for a while; lots of review and discussion is.
