More than 300 photographers from around the world submitted their entries, accumulating to over 2500 images. We were able to bring their works to the collective attention of our judge. Selection was totally anonymous, based solely on the quality of the photographers work as evidenced by the work submitted. After deliberations, the judge selected the following 45 photographers for inclusion in the 2009 International Juried Photography Competition. We were gratified by the response to this inaugural event and appreciated everyone's participation. We look forward to hosting the 2nd Annual International Juried Photography Competition.

It was an honor to review the photographs from so many talented artists. The subject matter was wide and varied, beautifully and skillfully composed... a true visual feast. It was very exciting and challenging to pick the final selections for this exhibition. Photography has been an accepted fine art form for many years now and it was amazing to see the interest and the variety for this competition. To all who entered ... congratulation!
