Judges Comments

First place is composed very well and shows the impact of demolition. We wish the caption included why readers should care about the house being demolished. Second place has a nice variety of images from the protest, but we felt like there wasn't many unique frames. We would likely see these images at any protest. Third place is a unique angle and a fresh take on graduation coverage. The HM image is nice, but we wish there was an action with it - maybe someone placed the picture on the seat, touched it after stepping off stage, etc.
