It's imporant to try to avoid "easy cuteness" - any successful image says something more universal to a broader audience.” This selection of twenty images from twenty talented emerging photographers take us through a variety of subject matter and approaches, painting a picture of youth in the world today. A good photo should be interesting and appealing, and not only for the mother of the child who is in the picture. Hellen van Meene puts it well – “Making photos of children is not an easy task. It is therefore no surprise that it’s a subject that so many photographers turn to – but the best work doesn’t just show the young, through them it explores broader ideas of that speak to our pasts and futures. And while the young learn many things from us, we can perhaps learn as much from them. Youth can feel infinitely expansive, something we all experience first-hand, and many of us experience again with a renewed perspective as parents. Every emotion is felt more acutely by the young – from crushing boredom through to unfettered glee. Youth is a fascinating phase of life – the innocence and purity of childhood, of curiosity and play, through to teenagehood where we explore feelings, relationships and interests that shape us into the adults we will become. Now in our seventh Edition, past judges have included Steve McCurry, Bruce Gilden, Philip-Lorca diCorcia and Alex Prager, along with curators and editors from MoMA, Tate Modern and the International Center of Photography, and exhibitions have been held in London, New York, Milan, Tokyo and Paris.
