2014’s winner is Dave Barker’s image Time for a Fag which shows a newly-wed couple relaxing at the water’s edge. Judges praised the top photograph for its “fortuitously captured and intriguing moment bathed in a golden light - a photograph that asks questions of the people, customs, traditions and consumption. It’s brilliant because of the multiple readings that can emerge from this single image. A split world of idealism versus reality.”  

Second prize went to Katie Quinney’s engaging photograph, Rugby People, of faces of fans at Eden Park. The judges said: “A decisive moment capturing a lone English supporter amidst a chaotic scene of varying reactions, made more intriguing by the reversed emphasis away from the game”.

Third prize was awarded to Chris van Ryn's image Lazyboy Time, with a photograph of a building site with three men taking a “smoko”. The judges commented: “A building site becomes an outdoor lounge for three men relaxing, using wheelbarrows as loungers, it’s an outdoor setting with the intimacy of a living room”.
