We are excited to announce the results of the 2nd Merit Photographic Competition, where participants were tasked with visually interpreting book titles. This year’s theme sparked incredible creativity, and we were thrilled to see how photographers brought literary works to life through their lenses.

The competition saw a wide range of interpretations, from literal representations to more abstract, symbolic takes on the titles. Each submission was a unique exploration of how a photograph can capture the essence of a story, emotion, or idea behind the written word.

After careful consideration, we were impressed by the diversity of approaches and the skill displayed by all the participants. The winning entries stood out not only for their technical excellence but also for their ability to evoke the mood, themes, and spirit of the books they represented. Whether through striking compositions, clever use of light and shadow, or imaginative symbolism, these photographers successfully bridged the gap between literature and visual storytelling.

Congratulations to all who participated. Your creativity and vision made this competition a remarkable showcase of the power of photography and literature working in harmony. And now, without further ado, here are some of the amazing entries

Thank you again to everyone who took part—we look forward to seeing what you create for the next merrit.
