"If I made a list of everything being a member of NPPA and entering contests have taught me, it would be a page-turner! So to say being a member has molded me into the photographer I am today would be a huge understatement. The thing I learned the most by entering the quarterly clip contest, is the importance of meaningful shots and making sure to never miss the moment."
— Angie Dones, photojournalist, WTVF
"From the workshops, the camaraderie and the contests, the NPPA has been a major factor in taking my work to a high level. The Quarterly Clip Contest and Best of Photojournalism competition set the industry standard of not just high quality TV Photojournalism, but Journalism itself."
— Jed Gamber, chief photojournalist, WBFF
"I credit NPPA for giving me the tools and training to transition from being a newspaper still photojournalist to motion. I can't say enough about the workshops. I look forward to more NPPA training."
— Annalisa Russell-Smith, visual journalist
Judges Comments
First place was the best by far! It took over a year to shoot. The photographer is quite compassionate to shed light on an American problem with emotion empathy and intimacy. There's a big fall-off after first place for this category. Several entries were shot in one day. Not to say some were not strong, but come on y'all spend more time. Shoot your assignments and work on a project or two instead of hanging out in the newsroom. Follow the example of the first place photographer. There are fewer of you out there so please step up.
