South – April 2026 – Spot News

Judges Comments

First place is a strong use of what appears to be a drone to show the scope of the damage from above. Second place is a classic spot news photograph that captures the scene effectively and respectfully. Third place was also successful in using an elevated perspective to give viewers a better sense of the situation.

Judges: Camden Hall/freelance, Andrew Nelles/The Tennessean, Denny Simmons/The Tennessean
