JUDGES
Josh Bickel is a photojournalist for The Columbus Dispatch in Ohio. He covers everything a typical newspaper photographer does: Portraits, sports, the occasional wild art and works the picture desk every now and then. While at the Dispatch, he’s worked with teams covering in-depth stories on everything from income inequality to the arrest warrant system. He believes the best way to make meaningful images is not through using the greatest gear, but by being a patient listener, a careful observer and always using head and heart equally when making photographs. He’s been named the Ohio News Photographers Association’s Photographer of the Year twice: once in 2018 in the Large Market, and once in 2014 in its Small Market. http://www.joshuabickel.com/index
