2023 Imperfect / Open

Judge: Joe Reardon

The "Imperfect" competition is all about finding interest in something that is not perfect. Look for the dings, dents, and asymmetry to make a compelling image.

Often images try to show perfection, whether it be in the beauty of a scene or object, the perfect symmetry or sharpness, etc. However, often what makes something interesting is its imperfections. For this competition, we are asking you to seek out the unusual, the flawed, or the broken and make a compelling image by capturing these imperfections.
