Overall the entries were solid. The fight for 1st place was a tough one because there were 3 stories that stood out. But the story "You Make a Difference" was our final choice. The photographer of this story gave us a complete package from the beginning to the end of a very emotional event. The sound was crisp and the use of handheld camera was relevant and steady. It was obvious the photographer had to work his tail off to stay ahead of the story while capturing the moments that made it stand out.
We wanted to add that "Water Hazard" was a close 2nd. A very clever way of telling a weather related story without standing on an overpass. I gave us all a chuckle and had some great moments with the golfers and high water. It also made us want to run out and check our golf courses the next time it floods!
