This graduation essay was filled with a lot of great moments, and the edit took us through the story arc of a graduation day in a tight edit. We probably only needed one hug photo in the edit.
NOTE ON WHY WE DIDN’T AWARD SECOND/THIRD: The other essays and the other graduation photo stories were either not as tightly edited and/or as strong. There was one profile story that could have benefited from a story summary.
