JudgesThe Philadelphia InquirerStaff photographers-Heather Khalifa, David Maialetti, Tim TaiPhotographers-22Feature-75 News-60Sports- *Not enough entries carried over to JulySpot News-10Portrait-25Multi-Photo 18 entries/177 photosFEATUREJudges comments: There were a lot of animal/wildlife photos submitted; not that we don't value images of wildlife, but we have a high bar for them, and none of those entries rose to that bar. We liked the color and dark, lonely mood of the first place image - a location we wouldn't have thought of going to during the pandemic. Second had a strong and funny moment but wish the man had a better reaction or looked more engaged. Third had nice light but we were disappointed that we couldn't see any of the subjects' faces - wish the photog had been standing in front of someone. 1. Darryl Dyck/The Canadian Press

TORONTO, ON - JUNE 23: People participate in an outdoor fitness class at Hotel X, inside domes to comply with social distancing measures to control the spread of Covid-19, June 23, 2020 in Toronto, Canada. As Canada begins to reopen its economy following Covid-19 shutdowns, gyms and fitness centres still remain closed as they determine how to comply with social distancing measures.
NEWSJudges comments: The first place image was good seeing by the photog, an unexpected frame of a politician. The second was a nice, light moment. Third had good emotion but wish the woman facing the camera was more prominent in the frame rather than the other woman's back.1. Chad Hipolito/The Canadian Press

SPOT NEWS Judges comments: Another weaker category, so we only awarded two places. We liked the first-place image because of the juxtaposition of the resident using a garden hose with the firefighters using more powerful hoses in the background. Second is a strong moment but the car in the background is unfortunate. 1. Darryl Dyck/The Canadian Press

VPD officers take a man into custody after he was allegedly agitating a crowd after rally against racism in Vancouver, British Columbia on Friday, June 5, 2020.
3. Not awarded PORTRAIT Judges comments: We only awarded two places; we felt that the category was a little weak. There were definitely some portraits that were OK or well-lit, but weren't especially creative or different. First was good color and the out-of-focus bubbles were a plus. Second was a candid portrait but we felt that it worked in this category because it really captured the essence of their relationship.1. Kevin Light/Freelance

Mother Klara Cramer holds her son Tomas during a seizure at their home in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia on Thursday, June 18, 2020. Tomas was born with a rare genetic mutation called GRIN1, Tomas can't walk or crawl or speak and suffers through dozens of seizures every day.
MULTI-PHOTOJudges comments: Not to be too harsh but we really felt like this was the weakest category. Many entries simply needed a tighter edit. A strong edit cuts down on repetition; there's no point in having three photos that convey the same thing. Also, in a picture story/essay, we really need to see variety in focal lengths and/or distance to subject. If people are the same size in every frame, that's a red flag. Lastly, there were one or two other entries that had decent variety but we didn't see any sort of visual narrative or thematic development – they were really just a collection of pictures. We recognize that the industry no longer allows as much time for us to do in-depth, character-driven narrative storytelling. But even a single-day event can be photographed with the same approach that you would take with a long-term photo story. The entry that we awarded could have benefited from a tighter edit – for example, too many fists-up images, which are the "obvious" moment in these protests – but it had good variety of distance/focal length as well as emotional variety, plus nice use of light.1.
