Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: The Lakeland Times Entry Title: LAKELAND MARCHING AT HOMECOMING Entry Credit: Brett LaBore Judge Comment: Some of the best photos in this category - crisp focus, cropped well, and good variety of sizes. Liked the use of a dominant photo. Not a fan of cutting out parts of photo (flag girl & trombone).
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Vilas County News-Review Entry Title: Come On, Get Sappy Entry Credit: Christina Brandmeier Judge Comment: Proof that a good photo essay needn't be several photos! Someone did good job of selecting the ones that matter and gave the reader a variety of sizes to make it attractive. Well done
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Peninsula Pulse Entry Title: A Retro Treasure in a Modern World Entry Credit: Larry Mohr Judge Comment: This was well done. Good variety of photos and good photography. I'm old school and like photo essays to be a photo layout but also know the newspaper world has changed. This is a good example of what can be done with good photography.
