The NFEF Competition and Beyond
I wish to thank Kelly Elder for the wonderful photos you see in this album. Kelly works at the Greg Frewin Theatre and graciously offered to share her photos. It always amazes me how people can capture the same subject, but in very different ways. In a split second, facial expressions, body movements, and lighting can change. And capturing 17 competitors, plus one emcee, can be a huge challenge. Well done, Kelly!
I was unable to attend the competition on Saturday, and arrived after the final round on Sunday, but I hear it was a great competition. The following page from the festival program may help readers to identify the competitors in Kelly’s photo above.
Well done, everyone; and congratulations award winners: First Place—Sylvain Leduc, Quebec, Canada, Second Place—Toki Toyakazu, Aomori, Japan, and Third Place—Anthony Joseph, Ontario, Canada, and The People’s Choice Award—Matt Shank, Quebec, Canada.
