“I was extremely honoured to be invited to judge this years’ SUN Awards, and also pleased to discover that I am the first woman photographer to be sole curator. For me photography is about passion, emotion, telling a story, conveying a message, and encouraging reaction. In selecting the winning images I chose them not just for their technical excellence, which is a given, but because of my positive knee-jerk reaction on first viewing them, and the continued enjoyment and empathy they evoke upon successive viewings.

They will stand the test of time. My sincere congratulations to everyone who entered the awards, it was a great pleasure to judge such inspiring and emotive photography.” Wendy Carrig.
