Also, Star graphic artist Chiara Bautista was a finalist for designer of the year and Star border reporter Perla Trevizo was a finalist for journalist of the year.

Judge Andrea Zagata, a page designer for the New York Times, said Camou has “a clear voice� with “intelligent photo editing and clean design free of gimmicks.�

Zagata called Bautista’s graphics and illustrations whimsical and fun.

A judging panel said Trevizo’s “elegant writing, combined with solid, in-depth reporting, presents a vivid and nuanced portrait of life on the border.�

Public-safety reporter Caitlin Schmidt won the Don Bolles Award for Investigative Reporting for her coverage of misspending at the Pima County Sheriff’s Office.

“Through digging by the ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥, what appeared to be small case of wrongdoing ballooned into criminal charges,â€� wrote judge Dee Hall, co-founder of the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Reporting. “This is classic investigative journalism at its finest!â€�
