Judges Comments
Many strong news photographs. Several entries felt like they should have been entered in the photo essay category, nonetheless, the racial profiling traffic stops essay was very comprehensive and had an impact. Second place was a strong emotional moment. Third place how beautiful, lighting and composition.
