Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Baylor Entry Title: Waco No Kings protest Entry Credit: Mary Thurmond Judge Comment: This is the only photo that stands out the most. The background is clean. Pure news photo. The upside down flag itself establishes a powerful impact. Like the overall photo.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: UT-Austin Entry Title: Reflection Entry Credit: Ysa Mendoza Judge Comment: I want to applaud the way of looking. Thinking out of the box.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: A&M-College Station Entry Title: Academic Freedom Protest Entry Credit: Samuel Falade Judge Comment: Overall good. Identification of the person would have elevated the photo.
Place Name: Honorable Mention Contestant Name: UT-Arlington Entry Title: It's a 10! Entry Credit: Joel Solis Judge Comment: To me its not a general news photo but I like the layering and the moment. Out of bunch of protest photo it looks like a fun moment.
Competition Comment: Some of the photos didn’t quite work as news images and felt more like feature photographs. That said, there were several strong moments overall. Most of the images came from protests, and looking beyond the immediate scene helped bring out the core of each photograph. Well done.
