Northwest – December 2025 – Photo Story/Essay

Judges Comments

First place: judges enjoyed the moments captured by the photographer but agreed a tighter edit was needed. Good captions were appreciated also. Second place: judges appreciated the photographer's effort to tell a difficult story visually. The detail photo and complete captions were noted also. Third place: nice moments of a family involved in sports but the judges felt with the access granted the images should have been more dynamic.
