Judges
Comments

Jay Korff-There's no question that these winners exhibited good shooting skills. But each piece lacked a central character and, therefore, lacked heart. We felt very strongly that no one should be awarded first place in this category.

Joel Eagle-Many of the stories in this category had good elements, both visual and emotional. Unfortunately, none really put it all together.

Erica Simpson-As with the 48 Hour Web category, we didn't feel that any of the material submitted warranted a first place. The two chosen for second and third place had strong points but lacked some vital storytelling elements. For many of the entries, the potential to draw the viewer into the story was there but almost always fell short.
