1st: 'Closures' was a tough debate with the runner-up. Both were shot and told well. Both were about endings to free up fundings theme. What was the edge? A: The resolve at the end. Nice punchy closer.
2nd: 'LastGame' was shot well but had two photos that were redundant and group photo as a soft closing photo.
Note: We really wanted to see 'CannabisCafe' place but the photographer left their name in the caption field so it had to be DQed, unfortunately. Also, lose frame #3, you don't need a portrait there. The rest had names in the caption fields or were not narratives told with advancing storylines. Lot's were told with wide lenses and full depth of field without a visual anchor.
