CURATOR'S CHOICE AWARD : Juror Statement

JUROR ASHLEY GIVENS, Assistant Curator, Victoria and Albert Museum, UK

Thank you to all of the photographers who submitted work. It was a delight to take part as a juror and to engage with such strong and diverse work.

The selections that I have made reflect the range of material submitted: they are varied in their approaches and outcomes. From a series of compelling portraits of prisoners to a group of images that form a portrait of a place, and finally to prints that engage with the practice of photography, the three final projects are original and impressive, each in its own way.
