This award celebrates the skill and professional excellence of an individual who stands out from the crowd in the world of photography here in the North East and the Border. They will have delivered exceptional standards of work which deserve to be recognised. Put simply — this award recognises a stand out individual.

The Judges were looking for quality, originality, creativity and professionalism throughout the production. They wanted to know why the nominee stands out — and how their standards of work reached a level of excellence. How have they raised the bar? What impact did their work have on the production, and why should it be recognised?

Portfolios can include broadcast and non-broadcast work, and consist of three extracts demonstrating exceptional camera work, no more than 15 minutes duration in total. Complete programmes can be submitted as an example of work but a time code reference recommending 15 minutes to be viewed must be supplied.

The nominees were:

James Moss – BBC Wolfblood
Scott Coulter
Chris Middis – BBC North East & Cumbria

Guest Presenters: Richard Ranken (Director of Photography) and Gareth Lloyd (Saville Audio Visual)
