Norman-Hudson’s creative image titled, "The Dawn of Technology" looks like a city at sunrise, and after a closer look, that cityscape is actually a computer’s circuit board. As the grand prize winner, she will receive a $5,000 scholarship and an Olympus E-3 camera, ED 12-60mm f2.8/4.0 SWD Zoom lens, ED 50-200mm f2.8/3.5 SWD Zoom lens and gadget bag. Norman-Hudson’s professor, Wade Payne, will also receive an E-3 camera.
For the first time, the Photographers of Tomorrow contest posted the 20 finalist images online and opened voting to the public. Erica Smith of the Art Institute of Colorado, Denver, Colo., was selected for her image titled, "Foggy Day on the Lake." The serene image features a man in a boat among the mist. She will receive an Olympus E-520 kit.
