Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Ackley - Ackley World Journal Entry Title: Best Photo Story: SUNDAY ON THE MAT Entry Credit: Corey Meints Judge Comment: Good variety of photos used well. Brave to choose an 'agony of defeat' shot. Would have liked to see some photos larger and page devoted to the meet.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Mount Vernon - Mount Vernon Lisbon Sun Entry Title: Sauerkraut Days Entry Credit: Nathan Countryman Judge Comment: Excellent photos. As in first place could use some larger and eliminating a couple to make the layout more appealing.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Orange City - Sioux County Capital Democrat Entry Title: New Park brings joy Entry Credit: Sarah Weber, Dale Pluim Judge Comment: Photos are all of great caliber. Not a fan of the treatment on the larger picture. Photographer captured the story very well
