• General News – Francisco Kjolseth, First Place

  Judges: David Leeson and Mei-Chun Jau, staff photographers, The Dallas Morning News First Place: 011 • Francisco Kjolseth • We loved the unusual angle of this image. The photo leaves the viewer with a sense of the frenetic moment and helps translate the feeling of the animal’s flight and, possibly, fright. The photographer’s approach brought [...]

• Sports Action – Trent Nelson, First Place

  First place – jpg #5 • Trent Nelson • Trace Wells planting his head in the field to make a catch. It is human nature to enjoy the slight misfortune of another and you can almost feel the impact of this kid’s head on the ground with a team mate flying over. Yes, it is [...]

• POY – Leah Hogsten, Second Place

  Judge – Peter Howe. There were many strong entries in this category, and my final list came down to portfolios #1; #13; #14; #15.

• Sports Feature – Eli Lucero, First Place

  Judge- Bob Leverone, photographer at The Sporting News 1st Place Eli Lucero/Herald Journal For me, clearly the winning entry. What a nice, storytelling frame. It has all the elements, well composed and perfectly timed. A perfect jubilation/dejection shot that doesn’t need a headline or caption. The reader knows who won and who lost.   2nd [...]

• Feature Photo – Brian Nicholson, First Place

  Capitol Commissioners: First Place • Brian Nicholson • First place was a visual pun of sorts and the more I looked at it, the more fun it was. There are a lot of distractions that can undermine the aesthetics of a moment like this, but none that are found here. Everything works quite cleverly Fiddle [...]

• Sports Feature – Grayson West, First Place

  Just a general comment: There were lots of nice jub images but none that totally came together. Many of them had great moments but were either under or over lensed or the angle was off. I was surprised at how few images were entered in this category. 1st: 7-Freestyle Snowmobile – Grayson West, Park City [...]
