Mobile Photography Awards 2013 – Winners & Honorable Mentions Announced!

2014-01-22 / 6 Comments

We’re delighted to reveal that the Mobile Photography Awards (MPA) 2013 Winners and Honorable mentions have now been announced. As always we (I speak as a member of the Jury) were succumbed by the wealth of talent displayed across our screens. We’ve had more entries to this competition than ever before and the quality of submissions has been totally outstanding across all the categories.

For my part, I was Lead Judge for one of the largest categories, if not the largest category ‘Digital Fine Art’. I am very pleased to announce that Cedric Blanchon took First Place here. The image that Cedric contributed ‘Unilateral Selection’ matched the criteria for this category explicably. Described in the literature as ‘this category is for manipulated and altered images using additional elements like textures, multiple exposures and app effects to change a photograph into something from the imagination of the artist’. Cedric certainly captured this and also provided a brutally powerful and compelling image, many congratulations to Cedric. Our Second Place for this category goes to Alison Pistohl for her image ‘Young Girl at Window’. My fellow Judge for this category described this image as ‘it’s just so ethereal and gorgeous with that palette, it’s simply beautiful and fresh’ – I couldn’t agree more. Many congratulations also to Alison Pistohl. There are also a wealth of Honorable Mentions including works by Victoria Thornhill, Giulia M, Helen Breznik, Azlan Arzaghi, Sherry Chen, Brendan, Christian J Sweet, Clint Cline, Patryk Pat Kuleta, Mika Trottier, KSeven, Lynda Martin, Cindy Patrick, Liz Traynor, Sara Tune, Cristian Margarita, David Booker, Massimo Scavazzini, Eric Dijkstra, Karen Divine, Lola Mitchell, Vickii Paton, Sheila McKinney, Ioannis Sidiropoulos, Aylin Argun, Tony DeMartile, Wojtek Papaj, Rhonda Brynko and Barbara DuBois.

Of course, I have described above a little ‘behind the scenes experience’ to the category that I Judged but there are many more winners throughout all the categories. I have infact, listed each image for First Place Winner and Second Place for each category below, many congratulations to Eloise Capet, Pat Kuleta, Erin McGean Cindric, Jim Baab, Matthew Gee, Mariko Klug, John Gamble, Eric Ludwig, Andrew B White, Justin Gould, Lee Atwell, Sean Hayes, Marie Matthews, Carmellina Pascoe, Mark Chilvers, Renzo Grande, John Nieto, Paula Gardener, Giulia M, Markus Anderson, Carol Boleman, Tan KH Victor, Kristine Norlander, Elin Liavik, Masaki Tanaka, Aylin Argun, Marina Varuolo, Mariela Angela, Akbar Makarti, Giuseppe Capozzo, Roger Clay, Ali Jardine and Barbara DuBois for securing these placements.

There are also a huge number of incredible Honourable Mentions for each category and I am sending my heartfelt congratulations to all Entrants, Prize Winners and Honourable runners up. You have all submitted first class work and it was such a pleasure to be involved in another year of Judging your art, thank you all.
