Winnipeg Free Press photographers earned national recognition for their work from a jury of their peers.
In the News Photographers Association of Canada National Pictures of the Year 2014 competition, multimedia editor Melissa Tait took first place in the single multimedia category for her video of centenarian world-record-holding swimmer Jaring Timmerman, who died in November at age 105.
A moving tale of a mother battling breast cancer while her son fought leukemia brought Brandon Sun photojournalist Tim Smith top honours in the national competition. Smith won first-place photo of the year in the social issues category, second-place picture story of the year and a nomination for photojournalist of the year.
Photographer Ruth Bonneville earned an honourable mention in the social issues category for capturing a moment of intense grief at the funeral for slain teenager Tina Fontaine last summer.
Photographer Joe Bryksa won third place in the pictorial category for his Winter Beauty image, which captures blowing snow and clearing skies near the Trans-Canada Highway.
The awards were announced Saturday night at a gala in Vancouver. For the full list of winners, visit NPAC’s website.
