Extremely weak category. We almost didn't award any winners, but felt that the Sikh Ohio deserved to be recognized. Far too many mediocre photos in the entry that diluted the good ones. While some of the lesser quality ones would be good for publication to tell the story, entry into a contest is another matter entirely. Some great moments and images, but about double the amount of photos needed for the contest.
