Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Courier Sentinel Entry Title: Hanging out high in a tree Entry Credit: Ginna Young Judge Comment: The photographer was really on the spot for a very interesting, and hard to get, news photo. Very good shot and excellent cutline. Too bad the photo wasn't run more prominently
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: The Northwoods River News Entry Title: Circle of compassion Entry Credit: Jamie Taylor Judge Comment: Great news photo. Excellent composition and lighting. This single photo captures the entire moment very well. The photo would have been even better had it been accompanied by a better cutline. Great photographers are also great reporters.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Ripon Commonwealth Press Entry Title: Vehicle loses control, ends up in Silver Creek Entry Credit: Jonathan Bailey Judge Comment: Photographer made sure to get plenty of angles on a good news photo. The combination of these photos tells a good story, but no single photo jumps off the page and screams for the reader's attention.
