Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: UT-Arlington Entry Title: Total Eclipse at the Park Entry Credit: Joel Solis Judge Comment: Read the first-place comments.This is a wonderful wide shot that captures the excitement of an eclipse on many faces – but it’s too dark. While technical proficiency is a big part of the judging criteria, the composition and creativity still make this a winner.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Texas State Entry Title: Democratic politicians visit TXST ahead of November election Entry Credit: Blake Leschber Judge Comment: It’s not easy capturing politicians at podiums.
