Photo of the Year 2019

A little late in posting this result - be assured that the only reason was continuing debate amongst the judges.

Most helpful to us is the professional and highly experienced lensman (lenswoman actually) who we often call upon. She helps us amateur snappers with technical as well as aesthetic advice on the entries. What's more, she's not a member, so knows nothing of the individual members, and can therefore choose without fear or favour.

So we know he won Photo of the Year last Year. We know he won Photo of the Month this month. And we know he has the longest list of titles on 420 Magazine.

However, none of those are reasons not to choose his photograph. In the end it's simple: the best photo is the best photo. To choose anything else for any other reason would be to devalue the contest and disrespect every entrant's work.

So here you are, Cola Monster. With a beautifully composed, perfectly timed, atmospheric shot that's original, striking and celebratory of our beloved herb. Well done, sir. Bravo!
