We are pleased to announce the winners of the Artists Wanted competition: Exposure.

We had so many amazing entries that it took us longer than expected to work through all the judging.  With such a high proportion of talent we hope to find opportunities for many of the entrants beyond the grand prize winners.

The selected photographer of the main competition is a unique artist from Sacramento California.  His work is original in a way that is both visually compelling and personally inspiring.  His photos stood out to our judges as possessing the highest example of "speaking beyond 1,000 words."  

That artist is Pete Eckert.
See Mr. Eckert's portfolio here.

The winner of the student competition is:

Yi-heng Ivan Huang
of UC Santa Cruz



Again, thank you to everyone who entered this competition.  The photos you submitted were brilliant, diverse and powerful.  

Also, we want to highlight these photographers whose unique imagery made a special impression on our judges.
