    Judge Comment: It's got everything a good sports photo needs, the ball, the conflict between the players, the decisive moment rendered in sharp focus as it freezes the action when something happens, the crowd watching the same thing the photographer is capturing - they are in soft focus and secondary, but still a part of the composition.

    Entry Title: Drive Time
    Entry Credit: Mylee Anderson
    Judge Comment: Has all the elements of a strong sports photo - the ball, the conflict etched on the player's faces, the crowd in soft focus.

    Entry Title: Sky Zone
    Entry Credit: Paige Danish
    Judge Comment: A technically strong photo in terms of lighting, focus and composition and the bird's eye angle adds a fresh perspective to gives this image stopping power.
