The Jury is working
And the Hipstography Awards 2015 are off to a flying start! The jury members are already working their socks off and it won’t be an easy task: they will have to select the best from hundreds of pictures and series in each category. Without giving too much away, we can say that it’s already a close call in a few of those categories.
Before giving you the details about how all of this will pan out, I’d like to introduce the 2015-jury members, as well as thanking them from the bottom of my heart for the time they are taking out to participate in this endeavor:
They are a group of internationally recognized photographers
who have associated their names with Hipstamatic lenses:
Ben Watts
Chris Hornbecker
Chiun-Kai Shih aka Chunky
David Loftus
Ruddy Roye
They are also journalists, photojournalists, as well as pioneers in the world
of mobile photography, inspiring users with their knowledge and expertise:
Daniel Berman
Graeme Roy
Kate Wesson
Patrick Baz
Richard Koci Hernandez
Samuel Gasc
Simone Muresu
Stéphane Arnaud
They are, in fact, also Hipstamatic:
Lucas Buick
Ryan Dorshorst
Aravind Kaimal
Mario Estrada
Allan Bedford
Luanne Dietz
The jury votes will close on January 24th and the final list of nominees will be announced the following week. After that, it will be up to you, the public, to cast your votes. The outcome of the public vote will then be added to that of the jury and the winners will be announced mid-February, during the much-awaited ceremony.
Although this is a competition, the Hipstography Awards is more of a retrospective of all the work that was published in 2015 and to put "that little app that has shaken the photography world so much", into the spotlight. May the best win!
