You guys are monsters…

By that, we mean that you’ve given us our absolutely most brutal competition yet. Judging and sorting through 43,541 images submitted within two weeks is no small task. There were lots of awesome submissions and then there were some very random selfies. But in the end, only one person has won the Canon 6D in our contest with EyeEm and 20 other people gave that winner very stiff competition.

A big thanks to EyeEm for hosting this contest with us.

Winner

A very, very big congratulations to this young 17 year old who demonstrated an incredible job. You are the winner of a brand new Canon 6D in the EyeEm and Phoblographer Creative Light and Shadow Contest. Please email us at editors[at]ThePhoblographer[dot]com to claim your prize.
