Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: The Commonwealth Times Entry Title: "Red4Ed" marchers Entry Credit: Erin Edgerton Judge Comment: Solid image of teachers on the march. Lots of faces and not one of them looking at the photographer. Bonus.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: The Commonwealth Times Entry Title: Westboro Baptist Church Counter-protest Entry Credit: Erin Edgerton Judge Comment: Usually not big into sign pictures, but the people in this image outshine them. Nice composition and moment.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: The Smyth County News & Messenger Entry Title: Dowell Funeral Entry Credit: Linda Burchette Judge Comment: The technical quality of this image isn't the greatest. Guessing it was made with a cell phone, but it has nice composition and it is an important event.
