Marca

Marca is a 386,000-circulation sports daily in Madrid. The SND judges said:

This sports daily faces the challenge of engaging a testosterone-laden audience with a design that is as lively and passionate as sports itself. Designers and editors use intense color and bold typography to nest narratives throughout the paper, scoring with a clever application of its logo as a design element. And then, in a time of sorrow and reflection, the paper is able to set aside its celebratory sensibility to display the Madrid train tragedy in a way the sports fan can appreciate.

More pages after the jump.

Heads up: After you hit "post" things may be slow and you may get an error. Most likely, your comment did post. Apologies. I'm looking for a fix.

What are the dimensions?

I believe it's roughly 11x15 inches, like most of the other Spanish papers.

Now that we see the inside pages, it's pretty obvious why they won. There's no letdown in visual storytelling (unless storytelling requires more than 12 inches, which could be a healthy debate).
