Virginian-Pilot Wins Quarterly Clip's Best Use Of Photography
WEST PALM BEACH, FL (March 24, 2011) – The Virginian-Pilot has won this year's Best Use of Photography Quarterly Clip Contest, chairperson Mark Edelson announced today.
The Los Angeles Times placed second, and the The Palm Beach Post was third. Other papers that earned recognition during the year included The Columbia Missourian; The Dallas Morning News; The Denver Post, The (Iowa) Hawk Eye; The Midland Daily News; The Oregonian; The Bergen Record; and The St. Petersburg Times.
Over the course of the year five categories of usage were judged quarterly, with points assigned for each winning page. Entries were judged by a wide range of professionals at universities and newspapers.
"The most important thing about BUP is the continually growing and extensive online archive of good and sometimes extraordinary examples of how to effectively use photographs to tell stories," said Edelson. "The easily accessible archive of winning pages, which display a wide variety of approaches, hopefully helps students and professional alike improve their work and understand that print still matters, and that there's certainly more than one formula for successfully telling stories on a page."
An added benefit for those who follow the quarterly posting of BUP winners is that they will have already seen many of the pages that eventually are determined to be the year's best at NPPA's Best Of Photojournalism contest and at the University of Missouri School of Journalism's Pictures of the Year International contest, Edelson said.
The 2009 4th Quarter winners are available now online for viewing.
The deadline for first quarter 2011 entries is April 15, 2011. See the contest page here.
