IPA Lucie Awards - and the Award Goes To...

Marthanna!  We are excited to announce that two of Marthanna’s breathtaking images have received Honorable Mentions from the prestigious International Photography Lucie Awards competition.  Her work, First A Woman, received the honor in the Fine Art – Nude Pro category, and her Earth Woman Fire was recognized in the Fine Art – Other Pro grouping.


The 2010 IPA Lucie Awards received nearly 15,000 submissions from 103 countries across the globe. IPA is a sister-effort of the Lucie Foundation, where the top three winners are announced at the annual Lucie Awards gala ceremony in New York's Lincoln Center and given the coveted Lucie statuette. The Foundation’s mission is to honor master photographers, to discover new and emerging talent and to promote the appreciation of photography.  


The awards are judged by industry experts including those from National Geographic, Saatchi & Saatchi, Esquire Magazine, Galerie Paris-Beijing, Tate Britain, and BBC Worldwide.  Recognition by the IPA is one of the industry's premier tributes.
