Terry O'Neil Award winners announced


The winner of the Terry O'Neil Award has been announced.

For this competition the photographer must submit a series of images with a short narrative.  The categories include reportage, documentary, landscape, wildlife portrait or fine art.

This years, winner, Giorgio Bianchi won the award for his images of violence and unrest in Kiev.

Terry O' Neil said "Giorgio’s work is amazing. It’s world-class and I think he is going to go on to do even greater things in the future. This year the Award attracted the highest quality entries in the nine years since it was established. Judging this year was the toughest yet but immensely rewarding and exciting."

Sarah Gilbert of the Guardian who sponsors the event said "Giorgio Bianchi’s winning series has everything you could ask for: The big perspective, close intimate moments, and a visual narrative that captures the emotions, exhaustion and the physical chaos of fighting, dying and surviving on the frontline."

UK Photographer Rob Pearson-Wright won the Mobile Device category for his series entitled Universal Language.
