The Print Exposed 2019 is split into 2 groups  – the internationals who are invited and the Australia and NewZealanders who submitted works. It is the submitted works that qualify for Mike Ware Award. The standard of submissions this year were extremely high. This was a great example of the quality of work being practiced in Australia and New Zealand.  The Mike Ware Award is made on the the combination of visual artistic merit, the craftsmanship of the work and the control of the scientific processes that create these images. After much deliberation, the Mike Ware Award was presented to Danielle Edwards  for the The Sentinel ( Eucalyptus camaldulensis), a printed out, Platinum Palladium photograph. The original image was captured in infrared creating an incredible luminosity.

Congratulations to Danielle Edwards and all who were a part of this amazing exhibition.
