In their own words…

“The Hearst shoot off was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I can’t explain how lucky I feel to have competed twice. It’s not often you get an all expenses-paid, first-class trip to San Francisco, with an opportunity to work beside three of the top photo editors in the country, outside of their busy daily lives. To top it off, you then get an opportunity to compete against five other top college photographers.

The bottom line on the Hearst: This is an opportunity every college student should strive for. Is the competition stiff? You bet. Can you have fun, shoot the kind of pictures you want, and win it? Evidently so.”
