A word from this year's judge:

I was honored to be this year's juror for ACP's Open Exhibition. The ACP Festival's Gala and many exhibitions are highly anticipated events that give Atlanta an opportunity to see the best and brightest photographer's work. The Open Exhibition had over 200 entries from a talented field of photographers. Photography speaks to the masses and a photograph can transport you to a different time and place. Ben Hendren's winning photograph beautifully captured a moment during Atlanta's protests of systemic racism. Hendren was able to show the intensity of the protests and the youthfulness of the protestors. Whether it is a fleeting moment with an animal out in nature or a carefully composed portrait, all the winning photographs capture our common human experience. I was blown away and impressed by the talented photographers in the youth categories. I want to applaud all the dedicated photography teachers that encouraged their students to apply. Your time and talent is appreciated. MINT is dedicated to emerging artists and I'm thrilled to see all the up and coming talent. I commend ACP for their dedication to bringing fabulous photography to Atlanta and for nurturing the next generation of photographers.

All the best - Jessica
