Judges’ Statement:
We viewed a vast assortment of interpretations of exactly what does happen after the sun goes down. The images were imaginative and innovative. In judging this call for entry there was excitement in seeing see such variations on a simple theme. The finalists chosen exhibited and displayed a range of night time possibilities from the individual walking the streets alone to the brilliant lights of a major city. In between there were examples of what happens on a street corner and what happens in someone’s backyard. It was very clear that the participants worked very hard to be creative and original. It was a pleasure to award the above entrants!
