"Justin and I were playing the 'ins' and 'outs' game, pointing our thumb up or down depending on what we thought about the image on the screen," Furman said. "It was interestin g as on most of the images our opinions were contrary. I think neither of us did good in guessing the judges' opinion."

CPoY judges and coordinators take part in the first day of judging on Nov. 9, 2014. "Students at MU are particularly fortunate to have a photojournalism competition like this hosted here," University of Missouri senior Sarah Rothberg said. "Viewers have the opportunity to hear experts in the field comment on photos taken by our peers. Personally, I've been participating in the competition for two to three years, and it's been an invaluable experience."
