The 2010 State Champions in Utah Photojournalism were announced and prestigious trophies were handed out at the FUNPA meeting tonight. As the photographs played across the screen there were performances by Green Day, Muse, The Smiths, and Macho Man Randy Savage. If you missed the big event, here’s a little YouTube goodness. When the music goes quiet, pull out an old Smiths cassette and push play on Meat is Murder for full sonic effect.
