Southeast – November 2025 – Sports Feature

Judges Comments

Another strong category. The first place photo easily rose to the top for it's joy. It's not you typical hugging sports photo. Second place is pure chaos in the best possible way. We love the spit frame with each team and their fans having very different experiences. Third place is a sweet moment that rises because the audience reaction to the athlete is included in the composition.
