The Medium Format Fine Art Prize Exhibition Announcement.
The selection process for the Medium Format Fine Art Prize has been a tough one.
203 Medium and Large fromat images were submitted into this section of the awards. Images were created using old Holga Toy cameras with 120 film, Pin Hole cameras, old Linhofs and of course the latest the latest big boys from Hasselblad, Leaf and Phase One.

The 203 images were judged to determine the highest scoring 50 images. These images were then Proof printed with an Epson 3880 onto Canson Rag Photographique. The Proof prints were then reviewed again to determin the 30 printed that would make up the Exhibition.
We couldn't do it! In the end we finalised on 31 images.

These images will now be printed at a size of between 1 - 1.5 metres. These images will be mounted and framed ready for the exhibition. The Exhibition will travel to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Hong Kong throughout 2012. Details on Exhibition Times and Dates are to follow.
