Story\u00a0could have been enriched by video, additional photos and archive links, but rapid\u00a0delivery of info is the starting point for what we do online.\u201d<\/p>\n
Second Place – Pacific Business,\u00a0News for Duane Shimogawa\u2019s exclusive story that investigated a billionaire Thai-Chinese\u00a0businessman who bought Kauai\u2019s Princeville Resort for $343 million.\u00a0\u201cGood to see that his piece came out of legwork on the beat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Second Place – MidWeek for \u201cShell Game.\u201d<\/p>\n
EXCELLENCE IN DESIGN \u2014 NEWSPRINT<\/p>\n
First Place – Hawaii Tribune-Herald for\u00a0\u201cUnder the Surf.\u201d\u00a0\u201cKudos to the designer for keeping the typography simple, allowing the large photo\u00a0to shine. The use of large, soft drop shadows on the type creates an artistic and beautiful\u00a0\u201cunderwater\u201d effect, and conveys the message of the article well. The placement of the\u00a0column of text is perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n
Second Place –\u00a0Hawaii Tribune Herald for \u201cCelebrate Hula.\u201d\u00a0\u201cThe designer effectively combined a variety of images and information into a well-\u00a0designed layout. The cover of the special section is especially eye-catching with its\u00a0successful use of color and dramatic visuals.\u201d<\/p>\n
EXCELLENCE IN DESIGN \u2014 COATED STOCK<\/p>\n
Firts Place –\u00a0Hana Hou for\u00a0\u201cHe\u2018e.\u201d\u00a0\u201cThis design is a winner for its less-is-more approach and understated elegance. The\u00a0photography is so beautiful and simple that the layout doesn\u2019t need any brightly-colored\u00a0graphics or fussy typefaces that might clutter it up. The one additional graphic that the\u00a0designer chose to use was pure genius \u2014 typesetting the word \u201che\u2018e\u201d in suction-cup-like\u00a0circles was a wonderfully creative decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
Second Place – Honolulu Magazine for \u201cThe Everything Guide to Coffee.\u201d\u00a0\u201cThe designer effectively combined a variety of images, illustration techniques and\u00a0text into a beautiful layout. The textural quality of the coffee grounds, along with the\u00a0coffee cup \u201crings\u201d unify the layout and provide a nice theme throughout the piece. It can\u00a0be very difficult to combine so many elements, including sidebars and copious amounts\u00a0of text and information, and maintain an organized layout, but the designer did just that.\u201d<\/p>\n
VISITOR PUBLICATION PHOTOGRAPHY<\/p>\n
First Place – Hawaii Magazine of\u00a0PacificBasin Communications.\u00a0\u201cImpressive. The break in repetition of shapes is perfect. The side-lighting gives\u00a0depth, and the color palette, all cool colors, really works to pull me into this image.\u201d<\/p>\n
Second Place goes to Trump Hookipa, by Oahu Publications.\u00a0\u201cA nice array of wide, tight and medium images that together make me hungry.\u00a0Great use of color. Photos work well together with the story.\u201d<\/p>\n
ESSAY PHOTOGRAPHY<\/p>\n
First Place – Trump Hookipa for \u201cRhythm\u00a0of the Islands.\u201d \u201cYou made beautiful use of the light. And the strength here \u2014 besides the story \u2014\u00a0is the variety of the images. Great colors. Great texture.\u201d<\/p>\n
Second Place winner is Mana for \u201cKealopiko.\u201d\u00a0\u201cI love how you found a variety of camera angles here. The front image really\u00a0pulled me in, and the images that showed interaction of people were also nice additions.\u201d<\/p>\n
SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY<\/p>\n
First Place – MidWeek for \u201cPinto Baseball.\u201d\u00a0\u201cYou really can\u2019t go wrong shooting photos of kids. In this case, I love the facial\u00a0expressions and the intensity of the kids. Good exposure, great cropping.\u201d<\/p>\n
Second Place – West Hawaii Today.\u00a0\u201cNice crop. The cropping makes this image. Nice facial expressions. Good color\u00a0palette. This was an atypical sport to see coverage of.\u201d<\/p>\n
FEATURE PHOTOGRAPHY \u2014 NEWSPRINT<\/p>\n
First Place – Hawaii\u00a0Tribune-Herald for \u201cSmall Steps Toward Mars.\u201d\u00a0\u201cI love this image. On the subject matter alone, you had the viewer\u2019s interest.\u00a0However, the interaction between these two people really gave it a human interest\u00a0element. I also love the composition of the shot. I love the negative space, the fact that\u00a0the barren landscape is featured. I just love this image.\u201d<\/p>\n
Second Place – Hawaii Tribune-Herald for \u201cSlow-Motion Torture.\u201d\u00a0\u201cGreat image. Including the man in the shot really gives the viewer a sense of\u00a0perspective to see how big the lava flow really is.\u201d<\/p>\n
FEATURE PHOTOGRAPHY \u2014 COATED STOCK<\/p>\n
First Place – Hana\u00a0Hou for \u201cThe Martian Chronicle.\u201d\u00a0\u201cMy favorite aspect of the series is the story it tells\u2026 These images turn these\u00a0\u201castronauts\u201d into people. The photography at this level has to be excellence. The\u00a0storytelling and human interest really push this up to another level. Very well done.\u201d<\/p>\n
Second Place –\u00a0Hawaii Magazine of PacificBasin Communications for \u201cOne Last Look:\u00a0Diver.\u201d\u00a0\u201cThis image is just gorgeous. I love that the diver\u2019s own legs form a leading line. I\u00a0love the beautiful tint of the image. I love the fullness of the frame and that there\u2019s not an\u00a0inch that\u2019s wasted. It\u2019s a beautiful picture that I could see hanging on someone\u2019s wall.\u201d<\/p>\n
SPOT NEWS PHOTOGRAPHY<\/p>\n
First Place – Hawaii Tribune-Herald for\u00a0\u201cWrath of Iselle.\u201d\u00a0TJS: \u201cI just love the photo of the cleanup crew truck. I love the framing the curving trees\u00a0provide. I love how the white truck contrasts, nicely, with the dark greenery. I love how\u00a0the road forms a slight leading line. It\u2019s a great photograph.\u201d<\/p>\n
Second Place – Hawaii Tribune-Herald for \u201cIselle\u2019s Terrible Toll.\u201d\u00a0\u201cI rarely (maybe never) have said this, but I really like the chaos on the shot. While\u00a0the wires are also chaotic, they provide a nice framing and leading line aspect that really\u00a0brings the photo together\u2026 Nicely done.\u201d<\/p>\n
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT<\/p>\n
First Place –\u00a0\u00a0Wailea Magazine of\u00a0Morris Visitor Publications for \u201cEarth and Water, Mountain and Motion.\u201d\u00a0\u201cAn interesting story concept, executed through carefully chosen words that create\u00a0vivid images. The writer appreciates the subjects at a deep level and translates to a mass\u00a0audience what makes the artists special and their work a reflection of place.\u201d<\/p>\n
Second Place – Honolulu Magazine for \u201cSummer of Books,\u201d which\u00a0appeared in its June 2014 issue.\u00a0\u201cThis is a refreshing local angle on the obligatory summer-reading booklist. It\u2019s a\u00a0well-conceived, well-crafted juxtaposition of authors, books and place.\u201d<\/p>\n
BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY REPORTING<\/p>\n
First Place – Honolulu Magazine for\u00a0\u201cEmpire of the Sun Noodle.\u201d\u00a0TJS: \u201cVery fine writing, thorough coverage of the topic and outstanding presentation,\u00a0especially with the multiple sidebars.\u201d<\/p>\n
Second Place – Building Industry for \u201cFlying Eyes.\u201d\u00a0\u201cThis is perhaps the most complex topic and deeply researched, especially with its\u00a0look at different sides of the issue, and yet, it never comes across as difficult to follow.\u201d<\/p>\n
SPORTS REPORTING<\/p>\n
First Place – Honolulu Magazine for \u201cBig Surf.\u201d\u00a0\u201cCompelling story that gives significant insight into a mysterious area of interest to\u00a0readers. Excellent writing, getting into the personal and professional lives of the sources.\u00a0A joy to read!\u201d<\/p>\n
Second Place –\u00a0Hana Hou for \u201cThe Aerialist.\u201d\u00a0\u201cVery well-written feature. The writer weaves in and out of the story with the\u00a0subject, creating a piece in which the reader feels as if they are on the journey of\u00a0discovery.\u201d<\/p>\n
EDITORIAL COLUMN<\/p>\n
First Place – Michael Keany\u2019s \u201cAfterthoughts\u201d in Honolulu\u00a0Magazine.\u00a0\u201cThree very different pieces show the versatility of the writer\u2026 Great reading!\u201d<\/p>\n

Journalists stayed on the\u00a0story as they tracked it through elections, schools, business and other aspects of readers\u2019\u00a0lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
Second Place – Hawaii Tribune-Herald for \u201cLava Scars.\u201d\u00a0\u201cThe pace of the ongoing story allowed the journalists to conceive many coverage\u00a0angles and they took advantage of the opportunity, all the while staying on top of news\u00a0developments in print and online.
