## Caption

Ben Eppolito ’26 of CHS Digital Media earned the Best Photography award at St. Bonaventure’s “CommDay.”
 
Eppolito, of West Seneca, won for a selection of his outstanding photos from CHS athletics events in the “CommPetition” held at Friday’s CommDay, hosted by St. Bonaventure’s Jandoli School of Communication and attended by more than 250 students from New York and Pennsylvania.
 
Eppolito (eppoprod) received a certificate from Jandoli School Dean Aaron Chimbel and a $500 St. Bonaventure scholarship if he should choose to attend Bona. His 10 winning photos are at the end of this post.
 
This is the second year that a CHS Digital Media student has won the CommDay photography award; Noah Morlock ’25 won in 2024.
 
Elijah Soe ’27 of Buffalo (esopics) was also nominated for an award by CHS Digital Media for his photos.
 
CommDay has a long history at St. Bonaventure, dating back to its inception in 1936 as Press Day. CHS Digital Media participated in CommDay workshops that included focuses on photography, artificial intelligence, advertising, social media and sports broadcasting. The keynote speaker was Bona grad Chris LaPlaca, retired senior vice president of corporate communications at ESPN.
 
The AI session was presented by CHS grad Scott Sackett ’86, a full-time lecturer at St. Bonaventure and an award-winning filmmaker and radio producer.
 
Photos in this post were taken by Eppolito (Sackett, LaPlaca) and Soe (Welcome to CommDay, statue).
