ABOUT THE GUEST JUDGE, NINA STANGL
An extraordinary photographer whose journey into capturing life through her lens is as inspiring as it is captivating. Six years ago, she found herself at a turning point, a "fence post" moment that reshaped her path and led her to photography—a pursuit that began as a gentle hobby but quickly grew into a powerful passion.
Now, as a true light chaser, Nina brings stories to life through every frame, especially in the world of food photography, where her background in gastronomy and her entrepreneurial spirit allow her to stand out and evoke emotions through each image.
MAIN THEME
"A November to Remember"
Embracing Reflection, Gratitude and Enjoyment
November is a month where the air turns crisp and the days grow shorter, inviting us to gather around warm bonfires and cozy kitchens. It’s a time for families and friends to come together, celebrating the transition from warmth to the cooler seasons. As the kitchen fills with the aromas of comforting dishes, we find ourselves reflecting on cherished memories and expressing gratitude for the abundance in our lives. This November, let us capture the essence of this season through food, exploring the intertwined themes of reflection, gratitude, and enjoyment that connect us all.
REFLECTION — A Taste of Memories, 24th November
Let's take a moment to reflect on the flavours that shape our lives. Each dish holds a story, a cherished memory, or a connection to our roots. From family recipes passed down through generations to solitary meals that invite contemplation, this sub-theme encourages you to capture the beauty of nostalgia. Let’s explore how food serves as a vessel for our reflections, inviting us to savour the past while creating new memories.
GRATITUDE — Harvest of Thanks, 25th November
It's the time to pause and appreciate the bounty of the earth and the hands that nurture it. As we gather with loved ones to share meals, we celebrate the connections forged through food. This sub-theme invites you to capture the spirit of gratitude—whether it's the joy of sharing a feast, the beauty of locally sourced ingredients, or the warmth of cultural traditions. Let us honour the act of giving thanks and the sense of community that food fosters.
