The People Category "The dark curtains, spaces behind the subject and the dark clothing he wears gives a mysterious and quietly foreboding feel to the piece, and provides a wonderful frame for this young boy's face, (almost glowing white) as he sits, just brushing forward into the diffuse light beyond his hiding place."
- Kent Barrett, Vancouver, Canada

The Small Wonders Category "We found we could identify Jim's pieces by their "look," a difficult thing to achieve when you are photographing common objects like flowers (or even uncommon ones like anamonae)."
- Kent Barrett, Vancouver, Canada

The Places Category "Nancy's 'formal' training consists of: a father who's into photography and gave her a Kodak Brownie at a young age, two years of high school photography, eight years selling photographic equipment in a camera store, a weekend workshop, a semester B&W class at a local college, and a lot of wasted film!"
- Dr. Euan Taylor, Vancouver, Canada

The Humour Category "We could be wrong, but we got the impression that this was a fun, goofy kind of day for the photographer. A beat up old shed in curious light, and half a cow...what could be more fun?"
- Kent Barrett, Vancouver, Canada

The Quill "After all these years of talking about it, Seth brought home a sixteen foot wooden cabin cruiser and commenced its restoration in his driveway. I called him 'Noah' and made some crack about the Great Flood, but he didn't like what it suggested."
- Richard Cumyn, Halifax, Canada
