Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: University of California, Los Angeles Entry Title: Black Lives Matter activists protest for more than 23 days in front of mayor’s home Entry Credit: Finn Chitwood, Chelsea Westman Judge Comment: Great story subject matter and visuals. Good range of photos and moments captured. To further strengthen and help showcase length of calendar days of assignment, perhaps showcase what it was like at sunrise, sunset, evening, and even the quiet after the protesting on the street.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Chico State University Entry Title: Conquering anxiety amongst the redwoods Entry Credit: Ava Norgrove Judge Comment: Great variety in images within the photo story, both in range and perspectives. Great relational imagery. To further strengthen: Consider tightening the edit to eliminate the extraneous deviation to the beach since the focus was more on the redwoods.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: San Diego State University Entry Title: Aztec Nights Event : Dragstravaganza Entry Credit: Brittany Cruz-Fejeran Judge Comment: Great variety in imagery both on and off stage. To further strengthen: consider imagery showcasing what it's like gearing up for the event and winding down from the event.
Competition Comment: Overall there were many great emotional moments captured. Both visually colorful and pleasing to look moments at and harder to grapple with subject matters chosen to showcase.
