Now in its sixth year, the annual competition continues to draw the cream of the region’s black and white photographers. This year, an imaginative, mysterious portrait by Brisbane’s Craig Stampfli, a powerful and technically perfect panorama by Canberra’s Wade Cramer and an artistic nature shot by South Australia’s Guy Draper have shared honours in the competition, which saw photographers compete for $18,000 in cash and prizes across three categories: People, Places and Animals.
Over the next 30 pages you can see the winners, runners-up and top 40 images in each of the three categories of the competition, along with judges’ comments about why the images that won were chosen.
We’re hugely grateful to our star-studded judging panel, made up of Anthony McKee, Liz Ham, Dean Sewell, Tom Truong, Alex Cearns…
