  • JUDGES’ COMMENTS<br/> “A lot of the works submitted dealt with expected subject matter in the normal, expected ways. The hardest part of telling stories is to engage the viewer, and hold their attention. You can’t achieve this if you only show things we expect to see. Defy our expectations and you will alter our understandings.” <br/><br/> “Documentary photography is about the photographer becoming a collaborator and/or stakeholder in the lives of the people they are documenting, and authoring images with a highly evolved aesthetic that are bound together by a structurally strong narrative that enables story telling. When these variables are combined, documentary photography is at its potent best.” <br/><br/> “Overall, some missed the mark by submitting a selection of single images instead of presenting a documentary series.” “Some presented a specific series, but mixed black and white with colour images with no real reasoning, which shows a lack of direction.”
