Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Green Bay Press-Gazette Entry Title: An intense shot from the sentencing of Taylor Schabusiness Entry Credit: Sarah Kloepping Judge Comment: We felt this photo was a good example of coming away from what could have been a rather stale environment with a really attention-getting photo.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Wisconsin State Journal Entry Title: Palestine Protest Entry Credit: John Hart Judge Comment: We felt like the facial expression of the police officer in the center really elevated this photo to second place. A bit tighter of a crop (particularly cleaning up the lower left-hand corner) would have made this a bit better composition.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: The Post-Crescent Entry Title: An emotional first day of school in Appleton Entry Credit: Dan Powers Judge Comment: We liked the clean composition of this photo and felt that it conveyed the emotion of the first day of school well.
Place Name: Honorable Mention Contestant Name: Wisconsin State Journal Entry Title: Tornado Aftermath Entry Credit: Amber Arnold Judge Comment: We like the story this photo told, especially with the info from the caption, but felt that the two people standing on the left side of the frame were a bit distracting.
