The first place story stands alone in this category. We give it our award of excellence.
First place: Photographer was committed for months, well found story from start to finish, lots of strong images
Second Place: Strength of the first place story raised the bar for this category. This would be our choice for an Honorable Mention. This story could have benefitted from a tighter edit and a strong portrait
Third Place: Strength of the first place story raised the bar for this category. This would be our choice for a second place Honorable Mention. This story would have worked great with winter seaspn elements instead of bare hills
