Monthly News Clip Contest

Monthly News Clip Contest

Random October Winner:

3rd Place, R3 Feature/Multiple Picture: “Hallowedding”
Kate Penn/York Daily Record/Sunday News

Elizabeth Caswell, now Elizabeth Kemp, has her ghoulish make-up done before her Halloween themed wedding Friday, October 30, 2009. Part of the reason she and her husband decided on the theme was to save money. Kemp said the wedding cost under $600.

Congratulations go out to Greg Kahn, a photographer with the Naples Daily News, who is the 2008 National MNCC Photographer of the Year. This is the first year the Monthly Clip Contest has named a National Photographer of the Year, although we are pretty sure photographers have been keeping track of these points for decades. Now it's official.
