“Dedication to excellence and high quality is fascinating, as it shows and gives insight into the life and imagination of great creative minds. The participating Photographers have all shared their very diverse skills with the professional Photography, and given us all an understanding through the images that goes beyond culture and spoken words.
It has been a close race, and the 70 finalists are the very best in a very hard competition with a lot of high scorers running up. The photographers are of course the center of a competition, but without the hard, qualified, joyful and voluntary work of the judges, there would not be any prestigious competition. So FEP would like to thank all the Judges for showing their love for Photography and its trade”
-Jørgen Brandt.
