Nick’s Choice

This story chronicles the journey of a 9-year-old boy who was born with a rare syndrome and is forced to make a difficult decision regarding his body.

Judges' Comments: This is the story of a little boy facing a choice that even an adult doesn't want to face. His decision: whether to amputate his leg. But this is much more than a story about the loss of a limb. It's the story of a boy surrounded parents who support his decision, as they dab their tears and his.
