Please note: The point of this is not merely spectacle, but to make a normally opaque process transparent; and to not merely hand down judgement, but to spark an open, honest, and provocative conversation about photography.

Attended the event tonight. Great work Canteen and judges! Not exactly the line-up I would have selected the but it was a great experience that should be repeated. Photography world take note!
