Terry Hall – Fujifilm UK
Chris Galvin – Opticron
Sarah Kelman – Photographer and past competition winner

Theme

The competition theme was contrast in nature – which could mean incorporating a high contrast technique; comparing big with small or male with female; capturing something wild with a contrasting urban background; or anything else that works for you. The theme was deliberately very broad and designed to inspire a wide range of interpretations.
