No one viewing the photo can have any doubt that this is not good news. Great job catching the emotion and gravity of event.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: MSU Reporter (Mankato State University) Entry Title: The President motions Entry Credit: Mansoor Ahmad Judge Comment: The photographer obviously had a great vantage point for this event, but went one step further to use technique to add drama. The movement interprets and enhances the excitement of the event.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: The Bark (University of Minnesota - Duluth) Entry Title: UMD Podcast Students Entry Credit: Izabel Johnson Judge Comment: Warm colors, with a close-in shot all invites the viewer into a personal conversation. It is a visual depiction of what many podcasts are -- a chat with a friend.
Competition Comment: The photographers show in their work that they are willing to go where the news is, and capture it. Nice display of reporting for the campus community.
