Jill Flyer and Luis Mancera McComick co-organizers for the contest, said that they decided to include representative photos from other participants because of the over-all quality of the submissions. There were three judges, all well known photographers in this area and internationally: Maria di Paola Blum, Xill Fessenden and Rebecca Ford.
