The Judges’ Comments

“Demonstrating excellent skill, narrative, and execution, this eye-catching, original image became a conversation piece with the judges.”

Mike tells us “Wow, I still cannot believe how last night turned out. I didn’t expect to win in my category (Open Avant Garde) and didn’t expect to win the overall Photographer of the Year as I almost spat my drink out when they announced my name!

I would like to say an enormous thank you to the judges and the organisers of the event! I am truly humbled and cannot express adequately in words how much this award means to me, especially hearing the comments from some of the judges afterwards.”
