Very weak category. Not a lot of entries. We weren't thrilled with anything submitted. First place is a good thought, but it took a second for us to understand the meaning in the image. Not necessarily news if the fire has already gone out. We chose "Peep" for second because they clearly moved around to work the space, and did a good job communicating what happened and how the community reacted. We didn't place anyone in third because we didn't feel like they met the category or displayed any thing "newsy."
