Judges' comments
- General comments from student contest chair, Eric Blumer
This was the first year for the national student videojournalism category! Thanks to all who entered, and congratulations to those who earned recognition. Keep up the good work. Every professional got their start somewhere, many at a college TV station. The NPPA has helped many of us learn and improve our craft and stay inspired. We invite all college students to take advantage of the benefits of NPPA membership. The winners of the professional BOP contest will be available on DVD to members, or for purchase separately. Please spread the word to other college journalism programs about the NPPA's Best of Photojournalism contest. We hope to see an increase next year in entries as the awareness of the contest spreads. This year, there were 31 weekly assignment entries and 6 in-depth stories entered. There were a couple disqualifications because some entered too many stories (2 allowed per category) and one CD did not play. So, please spread the word, and get your stories ready for next year!
