first place: This story is strong and emotional, and the photographer handled it with grace and professionalism. We feel like the edit could have been narrowed down significantly, but there are numerous strong frames in the edit.
second place: This is a well-framed protest photo that captures the event well.
third place: The newsworthiness of this story compelled us. It could have been a slightly tighter edit as it felt a bit repetitive.
NOTE: A lot of these photos should have been entered in the feature category.
