Congratulations Chet White, Jill Nance & Kim Raff!

Lynchburg’s Chet White took first place for his At Home on the Farm feature audio slideshow in the NPPA’s Best of Photojournalism competition. And Lynchburg’s Kim Raff won 2nd place in news audio slideshow for her King of Kindergarten piece. Jill won a second and an honorable mention for Raging Bulls and Limitless Dreams.

I suppose it would be fair to say the ‘burg is on fire this year. Congratulations!
