2022 : 05 May 2022 Youth Photo Award

Teresa Fan;Serendipity;I went to watch sunset with one of my friend quite often. But don't know whether due to coincidence or other unknown factors, every time we could not see a beautiful sunset. But one day we finally did and we were not even hoping to see it on that day. I have been too excited and could not wait for the camera to be fully focused but press
Teresa Fan;Reflection;An interesting photo taken in the museum where I can see my reflection and countless bulbs. In my view, bulbs indicate brightness, brightness to everything. Hope everyone has a bright life or someone in their life is like a bulb that brighten their life :)

Thandi Siso;wasted child;consumerism will be the reason for the waste of youth. waste means to use or expend carelessly, extravagantly, or to no purpose. nature will have no purpose and without nature, the youth's formally organic lives will be wasted. waste forms a double entendre in the photo as waste is also the physical result of consumerism. the consumeristic world he will have to grow up in will interfere with the nature in the background. as nature becomes progressively weaker and more emaciated, the wasting of society and the natural world is inevitable. we are all wasted children...

Chelsea Bauer;Disconnect ;The pain of heartbreak and loss is a strange thing to even attempt to put into words. It’s the aching in your chest where your heart is. It’s the loneliness that follows, It’s the loss of identity and the feeling of nothingness. It’s being physically present but floating mentally. It’s crying because something reminded you of them. It’s screaming into your pillow so no one hears you falling apart. It’s feeling like you don’t belong anywhere. It’s re learning who the fuck you are. It is oversleeping because you just can’t bare to face the world, Not right now. It’s the empty spot in your bed that used to be theirs. It’s the memories the replay on loop. It’s the feeling that you will never find love again. It’s the disappointment. It’s learning how to be alone and being okay with that. It’s allowing yourself to grieve and feel everything even when you desperately wished it would stop. It is learning how to love yourself more and finding the strength to put yours

Chelsea Bauer;Delicate ;This image is apart of a larger series that I shot based around the unrealistic beauty standards that are placed upon woman from a young age and how those standards have the ability to dissolve your confidence as you grow up and have to constantly deal with the reminder that you are expected to look a certain way to be desirable.
