Renowned for his proficiency in fashion, beauty, and still-life photography, Christopher Gonta brought his distinctive eye to the evaluation process. Colin Barker, a former advertising photographer turned personal project enthusiast, provided a unique perspective centred on West Sussex and his globally photographed project featuring Caspian horses. Meanwhile, Bob Marchant, a seasoned advertising photographer, captivated the audience with his journey into the mesmerizing realm of high-speed liquid photography.

Pooling their diverse backgrounds and preferences, the judges collaborated to meticulously select the winning entries. Following thorough deliberation, four exceptional photos emerged as standouts:

To inspire participants, Bob Marchant shared insights from his own creative journey, emphasising the significance of unwavering faith in one's creativity, continuous skill refinement, and the exploration of innovative techniques.
