Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Sauk Centre Herald Entry Title: "Welcome home, Anzio Company" photo spread Entry Credit: Ben Sonnek, Jennifer Coyne Judge Comment: Great emotion shots, although the layout was a bit different. Nice work by the photographer.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Stillwater Gazette Entry Title: Harvest fest photo story Entry Credit: Matt DeBow Judge Comment: Different photos. Liked the overall shots.
Competition Comment: A lot of great entries. I really liked the fair photo stories, but everyone kept submitting shots of people looking at the camera, which sells papers but doesn't look that great. There were lots of great shots in these entries. I chose ones that seemed to tell a story, had emotion and/or great shots.
