The national Cat Writers Association 2010 conference is now over and the final awards were given for photos published during the award year. New contestants like Coalition: HUMAnE volunteer Stephanie Galindo competed with seasoned contest veterans who gear their work to win, as well as other nationally published authors and photographers.
Several of Stephanie's photos that were published in the Coalition Humane's Wise Alter-native newsletter for the 2009-2010 year received over 90 points in the judging, earning three Certificates of Excellence, in addition to the Certificate of Excellence that Coalition Humane received for the newsletter itself. Photos that earn 90 points or more are then separately judged so that a category winner can be identified.
Sunny's photo (Vol 9, Issue 3) has been awarded the top photo in its category: single, black and white photo, receiving the coveted Muse Medallion. A judge said, "This is the epitome of cats: the insouciant air that goes with the full body and the dangling paw says it all."
Roscoe and Pink (Vol 10, Issue 2) also won the Muse Medallion for best in the category: black-and-white photography series. One judge commented, "Two of the images, Roscoe and Pink, are very striking and even hauntingly lovely. You can see the contentment in the companion animals. Great black and white series – well done!"
The winning photos can be seen on the home page of Stephanie's website.
