LIGHT Winners

The winners of LIGHT have been chosen, and we must say the competition was robust, and the decisions difficult. Jurors Steve St. John, Amy Feitelberg, and Nevada Wier reviewed 2777 images submitted by 751 photographers from 29 countries—including Columbia, Ecudaor, Israel, Kuwait, Slovenia and South Africa—and chose 50 award-winning photographs.

Capturing light is what we do as photographers, and we applaud one and all for this remarkable range of vision, technique and creativity. We also have a special nod to our alumni, who had a strong presence in this contest. Congratulations to one and all, thank you to everyone who entered, and a special thanks to the jurors and sponsors of LIGHT.
