Nigel Atherton said, “I’m delighted to be asked again to sit on the judging panel for these important awards, recognizing work in food photography from around the globe. Food photography has grown in interest over the past few years, and the awards last year received over 30,000 entries from over 60 countries. This year’s competition looks to be just as hotly contested, and the winners stand to gain much media coverage for their images, so make sure you get your entry in.”
