Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: The Free Lance-Star Entry Title: At 100, Millie Stroman is 'always ready to go' Entry Credit: Cathy Dyson Judge Comment: Fantastic profile of a centenarian woman who's longevity isn't the lone focus of the story. Her resilience is portrayed through friends and neighbors. The description of her day is also ideal. Well done.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: The Free Lance-Star Entry Title: Perspective paramount to car crash survivor Entry Credit: Cathy Dyson Judge Comment: Tight writing works well here. The after effects of the car accident are aptly detailed, but the writer also describes the woman's spirit. Nice work.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: The Free Lance-Star Entry Title: Film features former inmate turned barber Entry Credit: Adele Uphaus-Conner Judge Comment: Fine writing and storytelling. The barber openly describes the life he left behind as an inmate, with help from the comments by the filmmaker documenting it all. Great closing.
