Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Bristol Herald Courier Entry Title: BHC M01 Combination Picture and Story Entry Credit: David McGee, Emily Ball Judge Comment: A great piece showcasing the hard work of many to make a special memory for so many more. Great job telling the story from the planners, volunteers and children's points of view. These photos truly offer a peek into the event from every angle. The photos are crisp, clear and capture the emotional excitement of the day. Fabulous.
Competition Comment: I wish there had been more in this contest. Each entry deserved a comment.
Animal blessing: "He’d never blessed worms before ..." a fantastic sentence I had never thought to read. This is a wonderful piece featuring not only a pet owners love for their friend, but also their God. The photos offer a close look at the event and Father Johnson’s wholehearted enjoyment serving his community, pets and all.
A tractor-themed send off: What a wonderful tribute to a local man with deep community ties. The writer has done an incredible job relaying those memories, while the photographer caught each aspect of the memorial service.
