Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Foto News Entry Title: Front page image - One of the Good Ones Entry Credit: Tina L. Scott Judge Comment: This shows the true power of photojournalism. A moment of heartbreak, this photographer captures the intimacy of grieving parents and the community coming together to support them, and their child's sacrifice. Excellent.

Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Vilas County News-Review Entry Title: Shotski Record Attempt Entry Credit: Michelle Drew Judge Comment: Nice composition in this strong feature P1 photo. What squeaks this into an award is the guy getting a selfie of himself as they all take a shot (haha) at a world record. Nice job.
Place Name: Honorable Mention Contestant Name: The Lakeland Times Entry Title: Explosive training exercise at RHI Entry Credit: Trevor Greene Judge Comment: From a technical POV this shot is truly wonderful. The composition, the color, balance of elements (right now to the dummy). So nice.
