First place was the best single spot news entry, the photographer was in close and captured emotion. Second place is a multiple-picture entry that had the best picture, a girl reacting to getting water in her eyes after being pepper sprayed. A good group of pictures with one terrific pic. Once again a photographer went down into the protest and with a wide angle lens captured several police faces. The smallest number of entries but a very good category.
