Mala, 2010 by Keith Berr

Congratulations to all of our showcased photographers, and to all the photographers courageous enough to submit their work to the 2011 Saxton Luminaries Photography Competition! Culling the field of entries down to the top 100 was not an easy task and regrettably many strong entries did not make it into the showcase. This year's selection was even more difficult than last - our competitors have truly raised the bar.

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in each category were selected by our illustrious panel of arts professionals with judges from the Museum arena, as well as pro photographers, collectors, critics, and curators. The people's choice award was selected by the public on September 2nd, 2011.
