Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Kenosha News Entry Title: Downa nd Dirty Fun Entry Credit: Sean Krajacic Judge Comment: Excellent shot. The eyes are immediately drawn to the child's expression and then follows it out from there. A "clean" shot of a messy scenario.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: The Gazette Entry Title: Behind the booms Entry Credit: Anthony Wahl Judge Comment: Very crisp. The odd symmetry between the tree and the fireworks adds a nice touch.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: The Post-Crescent Entry Title: A joyful moment at the Appleton East commencement ceremony Entry Credit: Bill Glasheen Judge Comment: What makes this work is the contrast. All of the other students either taking it "seriously" or in some cases being outright annoyed and the student in the center of the frame bursting out with joy.
Place Name: Honorable Mention Contestant Name: Wisconsin State Journal Entry Title: A Chilly Thrill Entry Credit: John Hart Judge Comment: Good photo. Missing a certain something, not sure what, but it captures the joy of jet skiing.
Competition Comment: Great assortment of photos and I particularly enjoyed that there was a wide array of the *type* of feature photos one can run.
