We’re proud to share the fourth of our five Best In Show prize winners from the 9th annual Exposed DC Photography Show. We invited each member of a panel of distinguished D.C. metro-area editors and photojournalists to choose their favorite photograph from the 42 in this year’s exhibit. The five winning photographers will each receive a $100 cash prize from Exposed DC.

We’ll be announcing the fifth and final winner tomorrow. Tickets are still available for the opening reception this Thursday, March 12!

Today’s Best in Show winner is the splendid “Museum Guard” by Matt Dunn. His photo was chosen by judge Evan Vucci, co-founder of Haptic Cinema, and a photojournalist for the Associated Press based in Washington, D.C.

I love this photo because at first glance it seems like a a whimsical photo, but as you look at it more it’s anything but.

We loved being able to reward a few talented photographers with a special award last year, granted by some of the most distinguished photographers in the D.C. area, so we’re doing it again!

This year our judges are photojournalists, fine artists, and picture editors, have images held in the private collections from the Getty to the Smithsonian, seen their work regularly published in The New York Times and by the Associated Press, and won armfuls of awards and fellowships. They’re already looking at the winning 42 images to find their favorites. Each winning photographer will get a $100 cash prize from Exposed DC.

Will the discerning eye of one of our judges pick yours? We’ll announce the winners just before the exhibit opens on March 12.

Now, meet our special judges: Lauren Stockbower, Cynthia Connolly, Randall Scott, Susana Raab, and Evan Vucci.
