Second place: Feature Photo: Photo by Prudence Siebert/Fort Leavenworth Lamp. Wearing a reproduction Buffalo Soldier uniform, George Pettigrew, executive vice president of the Alexander/Madison Chapter - Greater Kansas City/Leavenworth Area 9th and 10th (Horse) Cavalry Association, holds quarter horse/mustang cross Lone as he talks with John H. Wooten III, better known as J.W. Wolfman Black, astride Arabian/mustang/Morgan cross Topaz, March 15, 2025, in front of the Buffalo Soldier Monument. Black visited the monument before starting a solo ride, with Topaz and Lone as mount and pack horse, from Leavenworth back to his home in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Black, who is 75 years old and legally blind, lost his sight in an automobile accident in 1980. This image placed second in the Feature Photo category of the Kansas Press Association Awards of Excellence competition, and the full-page photo spread, with additional images from the pre-ride visit to the monument, took third place in the Photo Package category. Siebert also earned third place in the Feature Photo category with her image of budding entomologist 5-year-old Colm Menge catching and studying insects on Moth Night.Photo by Prudence Siebert/Fort Leavenworth Lamp
