POY – Leah Hogsten, Second Place

JUDGE: Michel du Cille, Washington Post

2nd Place: Leah Hogsten, The Salt Lake Tribune : MORE

Comments: Wow! Two hard to do stories; that was a good thing in this one. The New Orleans pet story and the cancer fishermen was a very nice effort; a few flaws but still a big chunk to bite and pull off. Not over the top but nicely done. I felt the singles were very good as well, that was gravy.

Photo Essay – Whitney Curtis, First Place
JUDGE: Todd Heisler, Rocky Mountain News 1st-Gastric Bypass – Whitney Curtis, Standard Examiner : MORE Love the way the photographer saw this story.
