Judges Comments

The winning submission, a photo essay, is visually diverse and has a great mix of intimate and environmental frames to communicate the breadth of the impact the shooting had on the community. Personal favorites from the set were GENW_3135302597_MSUshooting_02 and GENW_3135302597_MSUshooting_10. The second place image immediately grabbed our attention. The third place image was a nice found moment caught in the middle of a crowded space.
