Distinctions winners unveiled

Fujifilm Professional has announced the winners of the latest Fujifilm Distinctions Awards.

The overall winner is Ukraine based photojournalist, Ikuru Kuwajima who collects a cash prize of £1,000 for his stunning image, 'Cossack Children with a Foal'. Ikuru's winning shot was taken on Fujicolor Superia 400.

Winning Image Jason Andrew is runner-up and picks up £500 while Dom Moore was given third place and £250.

From the initial entries, submitted via www.fujifilmdistinctions.co.uk, the judges chose 20 Merit Awards, each Merit winner was asked to submit a print for final judging. The Awards were judged by Camilla Brown from The Photographers' Gallery, Aidan Sullivan from Getty Images, Photographer, Simon Roberts, and Jerry Deeney from Fujifilm Professional.

Simon was impressed by the winner: "Ikuru's entry has an awkward beauty about the pose, with the hand gestures of the children mirroring the foal's head. It's a really intriguing, atmospheric image that is reminiscent of a classic painting."

Runner-up Jason Andrew's image, drew this response from Camilla Brown: "There's real humour and juxtaposition in this photograph and it's beautifully shot. Jason obviously has a very keen eye for detail."

Aidan Sullivan commented on Dom Moore's third placed entry: "Dom's submission has a raw kind of innocence to it - it's a really sweet portrait."

For the first time, Distinctions was opened up to photographers from around the world, and over 5,000 entries were received, each taken on Fujifilm Professional film.

Jerry Deeney from Fujifilm Professional commented on the Awards: "I think the fact that the winner is based in Ukraine, the runner-up lives in New York and the 3rd placed photographer is from Devon perfectly illustrates the global nature of creative film photography. The level of entries was really impressive and the judges had a very difficult task in selecting the three main winners, it's so encouraging to see so many great photographs taken on film."

Further examples of Ikuru's work can be viewed at his website, www.ikurukuwajima.com

Since its launch in 2002, over 35,000 images have been submitted to Distinctions, making it one of the most prestigious professional photographic awards in the UK. Entry to Distinctions is free and is open to everyone, anywhere in the world.

Distinctions 2010 will launch later this year.

Fujifilm hails Spring Fair a 'huge success'

The recent Spring Fair International trade fair proved to be real winner for Fujifilm, with the company reporting much higher than expected levels of orders and enquires.

As Peter Hayward, commercial manager from Fujifilm says, they were delighted by the results: "We were much busier than in previous years and the number of firm orders was up dramatically. The show was so good for us, we've already booked our stand for 2011. There was a really positive feeling about Spring Fair this year, with a definite 'recession-busting' feel in the air!"

One of the big hits on the Fujifilm stand were the demonstrations of Wunderbars, the revolutionary framing system for canvas prints. Peter explains: "We were keen to show visitors to Spring Fair how easy it is to create canvas wraps using the Wunderbars system so we had a continuous   stretching demonstration on our stand that showed the full process, including printing and stretching. This proved to be a huge success and we'll be repeating the formula for the forthcoming Focus-on-Imaging trade fair."

Spring Fair organisers backed-up Fujifilm's positive view on the show, reporting that the 70,000 visitors who made the trip to the NEC this year was the highest footfall the Fair has enjoyed for three years.

New eco canvas coating now available via Fujifilm

To compliment its existing range of canvas products, Fujifilm is marketing PremierArt Eco Print Shield, a revolutionary new water based protective coating designed specifically for water resistant inkjet media.

New eco canvas coating now available via Fujifilm As Eco Print Shield is water based there are no toxic or hazardous solvents to worry about and it is environmentally friendly. The coating utilizes a unique combination of acrylic resins with a new cross-linking technology.

Easily applied by brush, roller or spray gun, Eco Print Shield protects canvas prints from moisture, light, abrasions and even fingerprints. It is quick-drying and its advanced polymer technology will not yellow, crack or go brittle under stretching so canvases will remain protected.

Print Shield and Eco Print Shield are the only coatings to be awarded a Wilhelm Certified Seal by the world famous Wilhelm Institute.

Eco Print Shield is available in Gloss, Satin or Matt and comes in either quart or gallon containers. A sampler kit is also available that includes everything you need to get started.

Peter Hayward, commercial manager from Fujifilm made this comment: "We are delighted to be able to offer an environmentally friendly coating solution to our customers. Eco Print Shield will enable photographers and framers from the hobbyist right up to the production canvas framer to produce long-lasting, high quality canvas wraps time after time."

Combined with Fujifilm's selection of canvas media, the Wunderbars framing system and the wide range Epson printers, the addition of Eco Print Shield means Fujifilm now provides the complete canvas stretching solution - from printing, to coating, to stretching.
