Community Awareness Award
Christopher Smith, The Times of Northwest Indiana
The purpose of this category is to encourage greater attention to the small events in life, which often are overshadowed by the news of the day, and to celebrate those photographs that remind us that the world turns mostly on the work and dreams of the common woman and man.
John Ahlhauser Award
Kelly Wilkinson, The Indianapolis Star
This award, formerly the INPA Understanding Award, is named for Dr. John Ahlhauser, a past president of The National Press Photographers Association, former staff photographer at the Milwaukee Journal, and retired professor of photojournalism at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana.
