Collegiate Category 7: Photojournalism Judged by Keith Rathbun
The Post (Ohio University) Judge’s Notes: Union Street Fire, photographed by Arielle Berger. Not every picture tells 1,000 words; this photograph tells one million. Berger brilliantly captures the moment of raw emotion between two friends as one tries desperately to console the other. It’s beautiful but in such a heartwrenching way.

The Kent Stater (Kent State University) Judge’s Notes:
Rachel Le Goubin is there at the beginning when two Kent gymnasts chalk up before the start of their competition. So expertly photographed you want to squint so as not to get chalk in your eyes.

The Lantern (The Ohio State University) Judge’s Notes:
When opportunity presents itself, you’d better grab the ring. The Ohio State University had just won the first ever College Football Playoff, and Mark Batke “scored” the winning photograph. Pure celebration of Meyer hoisting the trophy and Elliot’s childlike wonderment captures sports’ thrill of victory.
