The collective work of photojournalism students at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga has achieved an unprecedented 7th-place ranking among a field of 75 universities throughout the United States in the prestigious Hearst Photo One News and Features national photo competition.<\/p>\n

The recognition marks the first time UTC photojournalism students have achieved a collective ranking in the competition, and this year also brought the highest-ever individual rankings for the work of UTC student photographers. UTC was the smallest university in the contest.<\/p>\n

Troy Stolt, a Chattanooga senior majoring in integrated studies and who is completing a fall 2019 internship with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em> in Missouri, took 10th place individually. Photos by Elian Richter, a Hendersonville, Tennessee, senior majoring in communications, took\u00a017th place in individual scoring. Rankings are based on accumulated point values assigned to entered photographs.<\/p>\n

Stolt\u2019s and Richter\u2019s individual rankings are unprecedented for UTC student competitors. The students are taught by UTC lecturer of communication Billy Weeks, a longtime professional photojournalist formerly director of photography and graphics at the Chattanooga Times Free Press<\/em>. Their photographs, along with those by fellow UTC student photographers, were among a field of 138 entrants from institutions including Michigan State University, Arizona State University, Western Kentucky University, the University of Missouri and the University of North Carolina.<\/p>\n

Stolt said he “really didn’t know anything about photojournalism until he took professor Weeks’\u00a0 course.”<\/p>\n

“I think about that a lot because, if there had been a different class with openings, maybe I wouldn’t be on the path that I am now,\u201d Stolt said. \u201cBilly has gone above and beyond what is to be expected of a professor when it comes to me. He saw something in me that I never saw in myself and has spent countless hours teaching me\u2014sometimes he taught me about photography and reporting, but more often than not he was teaching me to be a better human being.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe really believes in not only me, but all the students he teacher and their potential to be great someday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richter also praises Weeks, calling him “an amazing photojournalism professor.” He said he intends to pursue photojournalism as a career once he graduates in May.<\/p>\n

“I hope to work for a newspaper for a couple years to get the experience that I need and then after that see where the job takes me,” Richter said.<\/p>\n

Placing in the Hearst competition has increased his confidence, “If I work hard, there might be a chance that I could do this for real once I get out of college, which is really encouraging. But I\u2019ve also realized that I need to work probably 10 times harder to make sure that happens.”<\/div>\n

This year marks the 60th\u00a0<\/sup>anniversary of the annual Hearst Journalism Awards and the 50th\u00a0<\/sup>anniversary of the addition of photojournalism as a category. Today, the competition also includes writing, radio, television and multimedia content, and a total of $700,000 in scholarships, matching grants and stipends are awarded.<\/p>\n

The 2019 photojournalism judges are Carolyn Cole, foreign national photo correspondent, The Los Angeles Times<\/em>; Mark Morris, independent visual consultant, California; and Luis Rios, director of photography, San Antonio Express-News <\/em>of Texas.<\/p>\n

The 104 member universities in the Association of Schools of Journalism and Mass Communication with accredited undergraduate journalism programs are eligible to participate in the Hearst\u00a0competitions.<\/p>\n
