E&P's 10th Annual Photos of the Year
Contest
An extraordinary entry this year from The Denver Post, "Ian Fisher: American Soldier,"
gained the nod — and the $1,000 award — as the Grand Prize winner of E&P's 10th
annual Photos of the Year contest. This was the first time that video/ multimedia
entries were judged, and the Post's extensive package for that category vaulted
right to the top. Despite budget cuts at most newspapers, the number and quality
of entries this year remained strong. Other first-time categories: Portraits and
Unpublished Photos. Also for the first time this year we sponsored a People's Choice
award, and the online voting proved extremely popular. Check out our gallery of
winners and honorable mentions.
