What the judges said: “This is a classic example of “show, don’t tell.” It takes a tough topic and helps the reader understand it in a surprising, memorable way. Your phone almost becomes the chart.

There’s a simplicity and ambient nature of the lightly moving water, it shows restraint. Subtle but engaging.”
