The judges want to see your passion and creativity - life begins at the edge of your comfort zone!  With the help of the training, kit and experiences that the competition provided me with I really feel that I’ve grown as a photographer over the past 12 months. The competition really has changed my life, I am now proud to call myself a professional photographer!”
