Digital Journal today announced the winners of its global Photo Essay contest. With submissions from Nigeria to Vancouver, Australia to Michigan, Digital Journalists captured stunning portraits of life in all corners of the world.
Launched in December 2012, Digital Journals Photo Essay contest challenged Digital Journalists around the globe to capture moments in their lives, cities and towns.
Attracting more than 100 entries from dozens of countries, the Photo Essay contest submissions showcased Digital Journals reach and breadth of talent.
Covering a diverse range of subject matter, the contests photo reportage captured everything from bustling Nigerian markets to Spanish ports to Detroit neighbourhoods.
When we launched this contest we knew we would see a pretty diverse range of content, said David Silverberg, Digital Journals Editor-in-Chief. But when we looked through everything that was published at the end of the day, it was truly remarkable to see just how incredible the photography submissions were and how international Digital Journals footprint has become.
Out of all submissions, one photo essay was selected as a grand prize winner, four photo stories were named as runners-up, and three honourable mentions were chosen. Entries were judged on journalistic value, composition, clarity, realism, photographic skill, timeliness, and a flair for the unexpected.
Photographs from almost every continent on Earth provided fascinating tours of communities both large and small, said Silverberg. Were overjoyed to see how passionate Digital Journalists have been to tell their story, photo by photo.
The following is a list of winners, along with a link to each of their winning entries. The grand prize photo winner takes home $100 and four runners-up will receive $50 each. We also want to applaud three honorable mentions.
