There were only four entries in this category, and just one aligned with the expectations of a photo essay. A winning essay requires more than a collection of images. Two of the entries would have been better suited for the general news category. The apple mill story stood out as the only submission with a defined narrative arc, offering a variety of visuals, including a particularly strong detail image of the apple cider press, and a clear sense of both beginning and conclusion.
