A Blade photographer and an artist have won best in Ohio awards from the Ohio Society of Professional Journalists.

And the Blade’s staff won first place for Best Special Section: “Frogtown readies for Eclipse 2024.”

Artist Joe Landsberger won first place for his related special section design, “Inside the Eclipse.” Judges said it was “a powerful graphic design that was visually interesting, informative, and easy to read and digest.”

Chief photographer Jeremy Wadsworth received first place as best photographer in Ohio. Judges said his portfolio contained “images that convey emotion, action, and wonder.” They especially noted a May, 2024, image of a Greenwood Elementary School fourth-grader saying the “face in the mud is such great joy captured in a fraction of a second.”
