Judges Comments:
This was a standout entry and miles ahead of every other print finishing job that they looked at. The stunning photography in the book and the number of centre spreads, or 'crossovers' that had been perfectly executed, was astounding. Award winning photographer Olivia Spencer-Bower photographed the town hall monthly from September 2015 until August 2019 as the complex was transformed from its earthquake-damaged state into the fully repaired venue for the performing arts.
