Judges Comments

The judges put a lot of value in how quickly we could read and understand what's happening in each photo. Some close contenders were often bumped out of consideration when another photo was easier to read. First place went to the gun rights march because it was easy to understand the news hook. Second place went to the photo showing peak action of the new band director at his first concert. Third place went to the image that shows a unique framing of the word's most famous plane. Honorable mention was given to the lullaby scene in which the judges responded to the various forms of eye contact amongst those in the image.
