Judges Comments
First Place: We really liked all the photos chosen for “Fair After Dark.” The first photo was a nice way to start the series, with the pointing sign and the smiling kids. All the photos were very colorful and fun. Second Place: “Sacred Springs Powow” needed to be edited down more. We did like how the photographer documented this event, but some photos were not necessary in the series. Third Place: There were good moments in “Deaf Football,” but the series needed to be narrowed down more.
