Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Biola University -- The Point Entry Title: Reflecting Hope Entry Credit: Katrina Yep Judge Comment: This entry stands out among the rest because of the authentic moments of love and compassion that the photographer captured. Gaining access to a family in a situation like this can be a challenge in and of itself, but to go beyond that and have the subjects so at ease and comfortable with the photographer's presence speaks volumes to the photographer's demeanor.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Cal Baptist University Entry Title: Fashion Through the Years: Insight into the Fashion Trends Cycle Entry Credit: Zachary Cleek, Camille Grochowski Judge Comment: A cohesive color palette brings this series of images together beautifully. My first instinct would have been to photograph the different fashions in settings more relevant to the era of their original popularity. But after seeing this series, I applaud the photographer for their approach. Keeping a similar setting keeps the focus on the fashion rather than the backdrop, while providing consistency and cohesion to the series.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Pepperdine University Entry Title: How One Delicious Salad Can Create Global Citizens Entry Credit: Megan Williams Judge Comment: This is a pleasant approach to discovering the diversity in your backyard and I appreciate the faces I see and the individuals I meet in this series of images. A few candid moments, rather than portraits, could have made the series more effective.
