College Media Advisers

  • College Media Advisers Shoot-out, LOUISVILLE, fall 2010 • JUDGES’ FAVORITES — FIRST PLACE: Mark Samala, California State University — Fullerton; SECOND PLACE: Kaitie Fox, Malone University; THIRD PLACE: Jordan Boner, Eastern Illinois University; THEME: “The Streets of Louisville.” Students had some fun with this one given the character of the city and the life around Halloween. The judges agreed that the students needed to take more chances, looking beyond the obvious. The top images told a little story about a piece of the city.
  • College Media Advisers Shoot-out, AUSTIN, fall 2009 • FIRST PLACE: Terry Ting, York University; SECOND PLACE: Salvador Chavez, Los Angeles City College (Rhonda Guess, adviser); THIRD PLACE: Jessica Hodder, University of Miami (Randy Stano, adviser); THEME: “Keep Austin Weird.” This was a tough assignment in an interesting city. There was almost too much to cover. But collectively, the images, with the highest-ranked ones shown here, project the city’s weirdness.
  • College Media Advisers Shoot-out, KANSAS CITY, fall 2008 • Chantal Anderson, University of Washington (Kristin Millis, adviser) placed first in this portrait of Kansas City by the photographers attending the national college convention. “When the judges look at the pictures individually and collectively, they should get a feel for Kansas City. Offer an analysis of the city that goes far beyond the superficial. Find a person, place or thing that just screams ‘Kansas City.’”
  • College Media Advisers Shoot-out, WASHINGTON, D.C., fall 2007 • Evan Falk of Ithaca College (Michael Serino, adviser) placed first in this year’s shoot-out.
  • College Media Advisers Shoot-out, ST. LOUIS, Mo., fall 2006 • Annabelle Ombac of Virginia Tech University (Kelly Wolff, adviser) placed first in this year’s shoot-out.
  • College Media Advisers Shoot-out, KANSAS CITY, fall 2005 • Nathan Lang of Johnson County Community College (Anne Christiansen-Bullers, adviser) placed first with his photo of “Kansas City’s 106th homicide of 2005.”
