Two Kent-Meridian High School students recently received photography awards at the National Scholastic Press Association convention in Seattle, according to the Kent School District.

Emily Fong won the National Scholastic Best of Show Award for sports photography with an action photo of a Kent-Meridian girls flag football player.

John Sanchez won the National Scholastic Press Best of Show Award for his feature profile photo of a Kent-Meridian football player.

The convention was April 24-26 in Seattle, sponsored in part by the National Scholastic Press Association, a nonprofit based in Minnesota that provides journalism education services to students, teachers, media advisers and others throughout the United States and in other countries. It was founded in 1921.

The Best of Show awards do not signify a ranking of national excellence but rather overall excellence among the attendees and their entries, according to the National Scholastic Press Association. Convention attendance drives the number of entries and places awarded.
