Are the 1st place winners of the 2008 going to be the same than in 2006 and 2007 or you will tell me there are not other photographers in Milwaukee because I'm seeing the same names. Are the pictures anonymous until they have been choose? yeah right!

To Pedro: Each of our first two years, Random Exposure has had over 200 individual entries. The winners are selected in a blind jury by a panel of three judges not affiliated in any way with Vital Source. The winners, in fact, have not been the same each year, though 50 photographs are selected annually for the exhibit at the Eisner, which takes place in mid-August. Not surprisingly, more than a few photographers have been selected both years. I appreciate your question, though, and am sorry you're skeptical. Maybe this year your work will be selected and your suspicions put to rest. Good luck!

i won 1st place in the amateur color portrait category for the first time last year thus disproving the theory that its the same names each year... however, i do hope to win again this year. :D
