This is the fourth year of the nationwide photo contest in which one Grand Prize winner from each division was selected. Fans could enter their photos in two categories, "Action" and "Feature." This photo contest allowed football and photography fans the opportunity to capture the passion and excitement of youth football by submitting photos of everything from a playful catch in the backyard to any youth, school or organized football game. The photo submitted by Steele was captured during the third quarter of a local college championship game. In the photo, the wide receiver positioned himself at the five-yard line awaiting a pass from the quarterback only to have the moment spoiled by a spectacular leaping deflection by the defensive back. One of Steele's other photos was also a finalist in the "Action" category. Queen's photo, "The Longest Yard," was captured during a Middle School game and features a single ball carrier dragging several defenders with others in hot pursuit. Much of Queen's inspiration for photography can be directly credited to Canon Explorer of Light and Sports Illustrated photographer Peter Read Miller, whose personal Web site and NFL photo tips have helped Queen develop his abilities as a photographer. "Year in and year out this photo contest has grown to become a valued part of Canon's association with the National Football League," said Yuichi Ishizuka, senior vice president and general manager, Consumer Imaging Group, Canon U.S.A.
