The annual judging of entries in the Best of Scandinavian News Design 2016 competition took place in the first week of March and HERE are the winners.
For the 19th time, the juries met in Legoland, Billund, to look for the best overall design abilities and for the fine little devilish details, that can make design work stand out.
Ten jury members – six for print, four in the digital categories – spent four days judging a total of 525 entries.
The number of entries was about the same this year as last year – 424 print entries and 101 digital entries.
