Here's a message from our Juror, Karen Irvine:

“I'll be looking for photographs with purposeful composition and skilled technique that slowly reveal a strong and personal point of view. In general, a photographer has just a few seconds to grab a viewer’s attention using style, composition, framing, color, and subject matter. Compelling images usually have a sense of mystery, layers of meaning, and ask more questions than they answer. In other words, they go beyond what they literally depict, and incite the viewer’s imagination.”
