2011 ACMP Student Photographer of the Year
The 2011 ACMP Student Photographer of the Year is the Fashion category (sponsored by Crumpler) winner Gerwyn Davies, Queensland College of Art, Griffith University.
Her quirky and original images were awarded an average of 90 points. She wins $1000 worth of Lowerpro gear, $500 worth of Crumpler gear a Nikon Coolpix AW100 camera, a full set of 10 ACMP Collection Books and a Better Business Bible (total value $2700).
With over 500 images to judge in six categories, the standard was astounding. Some of the thirteen judges commented that they found it difficult to believe that they were looking at student’s work, in part due to the fact that the closing date was timed to coincide with completion of end of year portfolios. Only seven points separated the top 22 students!
The ACMP Student Photographer of the Year Awards aims to provide Emerging Photographers with the opportunity to gain career-building exposure within the photographic industry and wider creative community, with $8500 in prizes for a modest entry fee of just $30.
