The judging panel was locked in closed session the whole day during their deliberations. But we grabbed a few words with them during a break for lunch.
Jon Cohen was the neutral chair of the panel, once again. He represents a constant, as he has performed this role for us every year since 2005.
The rest of the panel consisted on two photographers, one from the north and the other London based, Lorentz Gullachsen and Lottie Davies; and two creative directors, Rick Ward of Gratterpalm, and Andy Irving of IWP.
