1st Place
Ashley Fransell/Provo Daily Herald
This was a clear winner for me…I love how the photog saw this detail
in what I’m sure what was a chaotic scene. It reduces the photo
to the essential elements – color, moment, and a bit of humor. It
would incredible impact on a page. Beautiful.
2nd Place
Chris Detrick/Salt Lake Tribune
This image has strong composition, absolutely stunning tones in that
redish/orange stain. Those two elements combined with the relaxed
body language of the girl in the tub, really set it off.
3rd Place
Leah Hogsten/Salt Lake Tribune
The chaos of this drew me in, but everytime I look at it, I see a new
element or expression that brings it all together. This mist
of the snow adds another layer of energy.
Honorable Mention
Beth Schlanker/Ogden Standard Examiner
This is such a great, touching find…the only thing that made it an
honorable mention instead of placing is the composition. I might
have waited and followed her for a little bit more until there was a
better background or lighting situation to take it to another level visually.
