THIS YEAR’S THEME: 

Position your phone camera closely in front of an object/surface that you can shoot through but use a section of the object/surface to form the blurred or intro area that is in focus beyond the blurred section, to which the eye will focus on.

 The result should be a carefully considered balance of negative and positive space, incorporating minimalism in both design and color palette, which results in an abstract, minimal interpretation of the scene/location.

 Examples below:
