Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Brookhaven College Entry Title: Beto at North Lake Entry Credit: Brandon Donner Judge Comment: The composition showing Beto O'Rourke walking up the steps toward the photographer elevated this image. It was easy to look at and was an immediate read
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: A&M-Kingsville Entry Title: General News Photo 1 Entry Credit: Ronni Reyna Judge Comment: Nice exchange between the student holding the "Silence is Violence" sign next to the student with the megaphone. The fact that both women were maskless allowed their great expressions to be seen.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Houston-Clear Lake Entry Title: Sheila Jackson Lee speaks on stage Entry Credit: Cesar Cardenas Judge Comment: The somber expressions on the five students in the front really make this a solid entry. There is a lot to looks at in this image.
Place Name: Honorable Mention Contestant Name: Amarillo College Entry Title: CNA program offers options Entry Credit: Arine Garin Judge Comment: This is a simple but interesting image that uses the juxtaposition of the CNA student and the unusual expression of the patient to grab your attention.
Competition Comment: All of these entries were visual and interesting. The Beto O'Rourke entry was shot from a position many photographers overlook. This was an easy read and the viewers eye goes directly to O'Rourke. The second place was shot from a high position that allowed the viewer to easily take in the whole scene. The Sheila Jackson Lee image was filled with kids with telling expressions. The CNA student was just simple, and quick to read and understand.
