Best Picture Story with Audio or Video Story/ Category 21 First place Civil War re-enactment Craig Mauger, The Courier-Times (New Castle) Comments: The photos in this video were excellent and gave a nice variety of what was going on at the re-enactment. The sounds of the background flowed well and made it interesting to watch. Nice job. Trish Gilles comforts her son, Caleb, who wrapped himself in their prayer shawl after he saw a warning about severe weather at Trish���s mother���s home in Sellersburg. The family is staying in Sellersburg while their Henryville home is rebuilt after it was destroyed during the March 2 tornadoes. Second place Storm-torn area Evan Shields & Ken Ritchie, The Madison Courier Comments: Talk about being in the right place at the right time. The video was long but had good firsthand coverage of the tornado. And the interview with the bus driver was great. Great job on the breaking-news coverage. Third place Froggy flinch Marda Johnson, The Lebanon Reporter Comments: Loved the girl with the non-jumping frog in this video. While the background noise could have been improved a bit, I really liked how the story of the activities all was told but yet this poor girl and her frog were highlighted as well. Nice editing job.
