after the judges, there’s yet another hierarchical step up the ladder to get the final selection? ………

Thank you for your thoughts. The judges on the panel that was assigned the task of sorting the 6,500 photos did the job of just separating what could be considered usable or not while giving their rating on how relevant a particular photo was to the project. The final selection will not be decided based on these rankings alone. Indeed, the idea is to get a message across the oceans and not to simply send postcards.

i think the panel of judges are in the same ring as umair, maybe you guys should bring in environmentalist or even civil servants involved in reviving our nation. it looks to me like its more of a art judging panel where as the whole idea is to simply get a message across the oceans.
So my thought would be to introduce a few more guys who has travelled and met a lot of the ordinary people to judge these photos.

Now the panel is more like a ‘wannabe judges’, sorry but it truly does.
