2010 Academics Photography (Note: Just one photograph required per student entry, not two photos, as per past years)
(NEW CONTEST NOTE: A photo illustration is a created image designed not to record an event, but rather to illustrate a concept. Find the concept introduced by the news story in the entry and then create a photo-based illustration of that concept. The manipulation of the image must be obvious, and photo illustrations are always labeled as such, in order to differentiate them from news photographs. Begin by taking an original photo or photos, or finding them in the public domain. Here are some examples from the Best of Photojournalism professional competition: 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006.)

Two of the stories do not have photos, while one story has three photos from which to choose.
