Gold

Texas Highways, “Hauntingly Jefferson” by Dave Shafer

A truly haunting series that maintains the ability to bring forth feelings of warmth and curiosity.

Arizona Highways, “The Big Pictures: Monument Valley” by Derek Von Briesen, Tim Fitzharris, Jack Dykinga, Paul Gill, Suzanne Mathia, Larry Lindahl, David Muench, Kerrick James, Dean Hueber, Bruce D. Taubert, Guy Schmickle, Shane McDermott

Excellent and beautiful photos. Start off simple and lead you to expect the same kind of photos we’ve all see a million times, but then they get more and more dramatic, and unexpected.

 Silver

Louisiana Life, “On The Run” by Denny Culbert

For photographs of a celebration, there is an amazing stillness to these photos, like you’re catching something that you shouldn’t be seeing.

Bronze

Adirondack Life, “Painted Pony” by Ewan Burns

The exciting action shots paired with detailed spots creates context and a nice narrative without even reading the article.
