Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Duluth News Tribune Entry Title: Fire destroys former Seaway Hotel in Lincoln Park Entry Credit: Steve Kuchera Judge Comment: Strong photo - well framed.
Fires are always good for news photos but this one was exceptionally well done
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Duluth News Tribune Entry Title: Fire destroys 2 buildings in Superior's North End Entry Credit: Jed Carlson Judge Comment: You can see what is happening - people in the photo is good and I even like the stop sign showing depth.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Fargo/Moorhead - The Forum Entry Title: Garage fire Entry Credit: David Samson Judge Comment: This one is more a people than a fire photo. It shows what happened and the aftermath. Nice framing.
Competition Comment: You have a lot of great photo although I thought several of them were more feature than news (maybe they got entered over there and will win because they are GOOD)
Several nice photos needed to be cropped in tighter to make a more dramatic statement
All in all this contest showed excellent work and it was hard to pick the winners
