The Worldwide Photography Gala Awards announces the overall winners and awardees of the 2010 WPGA Annual Pollux Awards

Juried by Philip Brookman, Chief Curator and Head of Research, Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington DC

"Whenever I make selections for a juried competition I begin with the understanding that my work is inherently subjective. It is not an impartial process but an attempt to find something new within that vast universe we call photography and art. I am trying to mine the works that have been submitted to find the core of an idea, something I have not seen before, some set of visual clues that will coalesce into a coherent whole. I look for an overarching theme, the kernel of an idea, and an enduring vision that will enable us to see and understand the world in a new way. Each of the sections I studied—professional, non-professional, and student portfolios and single images—for this project should give us a view of contemporary ideas in the context of their own world.

I found a number of common themes among the photographs I saw. There were images about people, politics, humanitarian concerns, war, the land, landscape, nature, people’s relationship to the land, and people’s feelings for each other, family, community, and memory. I am always interested in how art can help us remember the moment the present becomes past. We want to remember things as they once were, to hold on to our memories, and use them to address our future. Or maybe this results from our contemporary embrace of new technologies like digital photography and video, which allow us to reexamine our past (and how things change) in new and innovative ways. After all, we live in a technological age in which it is sometimes easier to connect globally and share images across great physical and cultural spaces than it is to communicate across a room. Consider the impact of mobile phones, Facebook, YouTube, and Flicker on how we make and share images, define our communities, and connect our lives with others.
