11th place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Heather Banks, a United States wedding photographer, with this Master Piece Award as recognition for top wedding photojournalism in the industry.
The leading documentary wedding photographers in the world enter their best photos to the Wedding Photojournalist Association's photography competitions. They want their wedding reportage photographs to be evaluated and selected by some of the most notable and respected working picture editors and photojournalists in the news industry (these are not wedding photographers or other WPJA members judging their work). Winning these competitions is a true accomplishment for a wedding photographer.

Judges
- I liked this photo the best of all the sleeping shots because it also showed this mostly eaten, huge plate of food. If the photo had been just of the child, it wouldn't have that much of an impact, but because the food was included, you know EXACTLY why the child has crashed.
