Chronicle-Journal photographer Sandi Krasowski has won an award in the News Photographers Association of Canada‘s second annual National Pictures of the Year competition. Krasowski‘s photo of a water rescue in June 2007 on the Current River in Thunder Bay‘s north end received third place in the spot news category, in which there were 62 entries. The National Pictures Of The Year awards competition was created by NPAC to recognize excellence in Canadian photojournalism. NPAC is a volunteer-run, non-profit association comprised of professional and student photojournalists in Canada. "So I found this article on Thunder Bay's Chronicle Journal page, and then proceeded to search the internet, trying to find the winning picture. I looked for the News Photographers Association of Canada that handed out the award, and apparently they're a secret association, because I can't find an official website for them at all.
An article written by Deborah Jones says "The association says it’s dedicated to “quality and ethical photography in journalism,” and the awards aim to recognize excellence in Canadian photojournalism."
Hmm... for an organization that's so dedicated to photography in journalism, you'd think they might remember to SEND THE PICTURES with the press release.
*shakes head and rolls eyes*
I'll keep looking folks!
In the meantime, congratulations Sandi!
