A special thanks to friend and professional photographer Brad Moore for his collaboration as a guest judge: "I'm Brad Moore, a concert photographer in Tampa, Florida. Two of my biggest passions are music and photography. I love being able to combine the two in an attempt to capture the best moments of shows from a unique and creative perspective. Hopefully I'm able to achieve this goal in a way that gets viewers excited about the music as well."

Congratulations Grand Jury Winner "Wiz Khalifa, Boyz of Zummer Tour " by blankaleal

"This image really puts the viewer in the moment and makes you feel like you’re at the show. It shows the excitement of the crowd, a peak moment of the show with the confetti and pyro, and even though Wiz is relatively small in the frame, he’s still the focus of the image. Just goes to show you don’t always have to be in the photo pit to get a great shot!" -Brad Moore

Congratulations Runner Up "Drummer Girl" by nobryan18

"I love the simplicity of this image. It’s shot from an interesting perspective, and there’s no clutter in the image so you’re drawn right into the subject’s face, which is also framed perfectly by the drum sticks. The bits of light above her head also keep it from being too stark. And the colors of her hair and uniform work well together. Nicely done." -Brad Moore

Congratulations Runner Up "The Hives" by Zaeed

"I’m a fan of color and contrast. This image has both, but in a subtle way that still works. There are also things about this image that I might be tempted to critique, but sometimes an image just works for you and you can’t quite put your finger on it. This is one of those images. I just like it." -Brad Moore

Congratulations Runner Up "Into the fire" by anders_samuelsson

"I’m also a fan of smoke, which there’s no shortage of in this image. Thankfully it’s all behind the subject so it’s not impeding our view of him. He’s giving us a nice gesture with his expression and hand. And the photographer did a good job processing the concert photographer’s bane of existence… The dreaded red light. Well done." -Brad Moore

Congratulations Amateur Winner "Xutos & Pontapes" by davidbain
