    Judge Comment: Outstanding event coverage in photos and copy. Interesting use of full story copy to accompany photos but it works. An easy way to share updates on an active platform. Don't be afraid of shorter copy for posts to let the photos speak for themself. P.S. Love the Adobe Express submission! Great job.

    Judge Comment: A great mix of event coverage using photos, videos and graphics. Loved the tiny mic interviews. A note on graphics on Instagram: Don't forget about accessibility! If you aren't adding descriptive alt text to the graphics with lots of information, they are of no value to your audience. Graphics can be great content on Instagram but photos and videos will almost always outperform any graphic.
