Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Davenport - Quad-City Times Entry Title: Quad-City Times - Kayak Entry Credit: Nikos Frazier Judge Comment: Clear winner. The contrast between the autos and canoes and water and street makes you look at it twice. Nice job!
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Des Moines - Des Moines Register Entry Title: Abortion protest Entry Credit: Zach Boyden-Holmes Judge Comment: Nice confrontation photo, but what makes it stand out is the bored look on the woman's face as she puts an arm between the two disagreeing men. It looks like she is doing it as an afterthought.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Cedar Rapids - The Gazette Entry Title: Winter homeless county hits record high in Linn County Entry Credit: Savannah Blake Judge Comment: Nice image. Think it makes the reader aware that the homeless problem still exists in smaller cities too, not just the big ones.
