1st place- compelling photo made in a sensitive situation. Powerful without being right in the person's face. Photographed with a great sense of empathy.
2nd place- Great expression, Nice use of light for the circumstances. Great moment. Everyone in the photo is engaged, which can often be hard to achieve.
3rd place- Great emotional moment captured well.
