In the Group IV division, Samantha Pak took first place for best editorial for “More than 50 years later, MLK’s dream is still a dream.”

Also in Group IV, Andy Nystrom placed second for best personality profile/long for “Former Green Bay Packer Driver shares his story of poverty and homelessness at Hopelink luncheon” and second for best color sports photo/action for “RHS hosts 4A Kingco Tourney,” an image of Redmond basketball player Kevin Carpenter driving to the hoop against Newport’s Jace Goforth.
