WINNER:
Chris Burn, The Yorkshire Post
After the online scoring stage, two entries stood out in this category. Choosing between them took the judges a little time but in the end, Chris Burn of The Yorkshire Post was confirmed as the winner.
“The submission shows a real breadth of expertise,” said one judge. “Chris clearly has that knack of finding stories that not only resonate regionally but nationally too,” added another.
Highly Commended:
Peter Ranscombe, Freelance (Scottish Field)
In an extremely close category, the judges were keen to recognise Peter Ranscombe’s excellent work in 2022. “His writing style has a light touch, giving the impression you're listening to a friend who knows more than you,” explained one judge.
