The presentation is far and above the best in this competition. While it is not a novel idea, A day in the Life, it is well executed and shows a slice of life. The technicality and variety of images elevated the entry.

It is an original idea and technically well executed. Great colour, it jumps off the page. The presentation helped to elevate the entry.

The Chilliwack Progress (Chilliwack, BC)
Entry Title:
Before and after the blaze that destroyed the Village Lytton
Entry Credit:
Jenna Hauck
Judge Comment:
The before and after angle helps to tell a story of the destruction of the fire. It's a creative idea and shows planning. The before and after also helps to show the impact of the fire.
Competition Comment:
Not many entries showed much foresight and planning or a true narrative, Most entries presented a collection of images around a theme, but did not tell a story.
