Judges Comments

Three total entries in this category, and all of them worth of awards. The top two awards prompted the most discussion - each showing investments of time from the photographer, a diversity of images and much to offer the viewer from an emotional-engagement perspective. First place - A nice tight edit, with each frame offering content that moves the story forward. Second place - Equally compelling, this impressive package showcases a contentious and multi-faceted story from a variety of angles. Kudos to the photographer for taking the time to flesh out the issue's multiple components. Third place - Several strong emotional moments earned the entry recognition, even though it's from a singular event.
