What is Millie Pilkington looking for?
Millie gave us some guidance on what she was looking for to win the competition
Millie is attracted to moments of raw emotion in photography. She is seeking photographs that capture the essence of punctum—images that evoke raw emotion, humour, and a deep connection between the viewer and the moment.
She wants to see authenticity, where the spontaneity and silliness of life shine through naturally, drawing us into the heart of the experience. While post-editing is allowed, submissions should maintain the integrity of the original shot and avoid artificial manufacturing or AI-generated elements.
She will judge submissions valuing images that resonate on a personal level, creating a genuine bond with the audience rather than a polished, staged aesthetic.
Good luck!
