Fresh Faced and Wild Eyed – Online

Fourth edition for Fresh Faced & Wild Eyed!

The annual on-line competition recently announced the UK graduate & posgraduate  winners for this year’s edition: 20 artists  who completed their studies in the past year and have been selected by a panel of photography experts.

The featured artists have graduated from courses across the UK, including The Glasgow School of Art, University of Wales, Newport and University of the Arts London. The range of the submissions, both geographically and stylistically, demonstrate the vibrancy of the medium in the UK.

This year, FreshFacedandWildEyed2011 takes place online while The Photographers’ Gallery undergoes extensive redevelopment (booooo) until it reopens later this year.

Submissions were made online between 1 and 24 June 2011 & This year’s judges are Edmund Clark, photographer; Tim Clark, Editor-in-chief, 1000 Words Photography Magazine; Louise Clements, Artistic Director, Quad and Format International Photography Festival; and Brett Rogers, Director, The Photographers’ Gallery.

20 young talents with a long & diverse list of photographed subjects, situations and atmospheres. Some revealing and inviting, others too cold and even aggressive. And as there’s no physical place to see them, you have this web for a deep photographic insight.
