‘Captured Memories’: Join us to celebrate The Charlotte Observer’s year in photos
The year 2024 saw amazing journalism and The Charlotte Observer met the challenge to bring our readers the news everyone was hungry for.
Some of these stories were: the historic presidential election between Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump; Hurricane Helene and the shooting of four law enforcement officers on Galway Drive.
Plus we produced tons of investigative pieces, local arts, business, education, Charlotte government news, and held community events showcasing important journalism.
And The Charlotte Observer’s visual journalists were right there capturing all the memories.
Whether it’s the aftermath of a devastating storm, a great Panthers catch or a candlelight vigil, our photographers have just the right lens.
We’re partnering with the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library to celebrate the Observer’s best photos of 2024 and hear our photographers talk about the art and science of visual journalism and how they capture these photos.
A special feature this year showcases the work of high school students representing Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, where we will award finalists and first, second and third place winners.
