Each month I post to The Editor’s Desk the winners of our monthly headline contest. There are, however, a few newsroom contests that aren’t getting the blog love they deserve. So, let’s remedy that.
The photograph you see at left (click on it to see a larger version) is Fernando Salazar’s shot of WSU basketball coach Gregg Marshall’s reaction to the season-ending injury of one of his players. It took first place in January’s best-photo contest.
Second place went to Bo Rader for his picture of a KU touchdown in the Orange Bowl. Third place was a tie between Jaime Oppenheimer’s touching image of three girls at the end of a dance, and Mike Hutmacher’s silhouette of construction work on the downtown arena.
Don’t forget that if you want to purchase one of these or any other picture from The Eagle, all you have to do is click on the “Buy Photos & Pages†link on the left side of most Kansas.com pages. If you don’t feel like clicking back to the main site from the comfy confines of our blogs, here’s a direct link.
