HOW DOES IT WORK?

During our Live-stream Broadcast you will have a chance to view the selections of the preliminary-round judges as Kirsten, Jenna and Huy curate a final gallery of award-winning photographs.

This final round of judging is a transparent, all-day process that is constructive and engaging, aimed at helping us grow as photographers. As Kirsten, Jenna and Huy narrow down the photos in each category, they will discuss what makes a great documentary photograph or series and the reasoning behind their final selection of award winners and honorable mentions.

Next weeks broadcast is free to the public while it is being live-streamed. Anyone who submitted to this last round of the DFA’s will also receive a free subscription to re-watch the recording of the broadcast.

We hope you join us as we review the inspiring work of your fellow photographers and newest DFA winners!

See you on Friday!
