In the process of judging Lily Magazine's Photo Competition we were reminded of Lae photographer Brian Alois' front cover-worthy entry in the PNG Amateur Photography Association's 2015 competition.
His shot - entitled 'Hagen Faceoff' and taken at the Divine Word University's annual cultural show in Madang.– was awarded second place and of course we put it on the front cover of PNG Air Magazine (Vol #3).
Here's the link to the issue and writer Mary Tao's excellent wrapup of the winners, along with a compilation of all the remarkable entries, including winner Zorik Olangi's incredible jumping sunset shot.

I wish the Amateur Photography Association could come out of hiatus and revive this worthwhile competition!
