West – May 2021 – General News

Judges Comments

1st Place: A real scene that brings the viewer into the moment of this family. The luggage. The hand holding with the wall and the leading the lines all really made this a very strong general news picture. 2nd Place: It had depth with strong subject matter. The broken down tens juxtaposed to the evely distributed police cruisers added a lot of valuable information. 3rd Place: The hand on the child’s face and that sense of humanity made this very strong. And it’s a vaccine picture that tells a different story associated with this issue. The real fear people experience just from a small needle can be the difference between getting the shot and avoiding it.
