Hed & Dek 2020

Gold

Arizona Highways, “Great Balls of Fire” by Robert Stieve

The tone of the hed and dek well match the author’s spicy, colourfully detailed prose.

 Silver

 
Cottage Life, “Hairy, Very; Capture a little Bigfoot in Jefferson” by Clayton Maxwell

Playful and concise with not a wasted word.
