    Judge Comment: Great cutline info and knowing what the story is about. These events can be really boring, but being there to capture the people who care about it most is important.
  • Place Name: Third Place
    Contestant Name: Northeast Texas Commmunity College
    Entry Title: Here Comes The Sun
    Entry Credit: Liliana Torreblanca
    Judge Comment: I thought there were a lot more interesting photos in this spread, but I do appreciate the news value of framing the staff with the sign. Watch your aperture, the people fall out of focus.
  • Place Name: Honorable Mention
    Contestant Name: St. Edward's University
    Entry Title: Students host day-long peaceful protest for Pride flag removal on university Seal
    Entry Credit: Gabrielle Caumon
    Judge Comment: Great job getting the flags waving around, but your focus still could have been on the speaker with the same effect. Sharpest focus is on the person's purple hat and that distracts. The cutline submitted is missing all the basic information. Cutlines can be 2 sentences with the who, what, when and where in the first and the quote second.
  • Competition Comment: None
