This is it, the announcement of the selected photographer for the Grand Prize Award. With such an incredible array of inspired work to review, our judging panel took extra time to make this momentous decision. EXPOSURE attracted entries from around the world, from Morocco to Mexico, from Seattle to Shanghai and beyond. The work submitted transcended language, revealed culture and told countless stories from every corner of the planet.

It's an honor to be a part of this world-wide conversation and next week we will be highlighting 99 other photographers whose work stood out to our judges. Stay tuned to this e-mail list for that announcement. Without further ado, the winner of Artists Wanted's second annual EXPOSURE competition is:

"I work for weeks in an area. The process involves camping out, building temporary structures, shifting animals, people and physically intervening the space. In fact, I feel that I need to get close to the land, to slowly repossess it in order to then violate it, turn it on it's head..." His deeply involved process and incredible images impressed our judging panel and we hope the world at large will feel the same way.
