VERSUS Finals : Winner & Voting Result

12/21/2015

Comments

 
Our VERSUS head-to-head tournament Finals has been voted upon by a selected panel of judges. It's time to announce the winner and conclude the tournament. Congratulations to our finalists, Joel Domingo and Brian Santos, for making it this far. It has been a long process that you both went through. Your effort was evident and clearly it has paid off for you. In the end, there could only be one winner.

In previous rounds, we invited guest judges (Focus outsiders) to determine the matchup winners. For the Finals, there was a special twist : the winner shall be decided by a panel of judges made up of Focus members - the Top 10 of the 2014 Photographer Of The Year competition plus the winners of individual Focus contests this year. They were asked to vote individually (via private message), with the entry/contestant gathering the majority of the votes to be deemed the winner.

Our panel of judges include :

Photographer Of The Year 2014 Top Ten : Jay Salvador, Chi Lopez, Noel Crisostomo, Lheo Halili, Amen Alcoriza, Alih Viaje, Julius Calzo, Mhoie Mendoza, Red Bautista, and Marlo Bien

Individual PhotoContest Winners of 2015 : Bobby Jo, Sherwin Tomas, Manuel Joson, Nico San Pedro, Erick Austria, Ian Earl Calalang, and Jan Kevin Angeles



THEME FOR THE FINALS : OLD AND NEW... STRAIGHT OUT OF THE CAMERA
(No processing allowed at all. The finalists were asked to submit RAW and unprocessed JPEG files of their entry for verification.)

These were the entries from our two finalists (you may click on the photos to view them bigger) :
