The 22 judges did not award a Best in Show for the 34th Edition. Prior to the vote on a finalist, the entire group of judges voted unanimously to award full-panel Judges Special Recognitions to both The Washington Post election coverage and Eureka, a magazine of the Times of London.
The 34th Edition was coordinated by Melissa Angle, Projects Editor at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
A look at the numbers:
Winning entries: 717
Total entries: 9,262
Gold medals: 3
