I agree. There was ever a photo marathon judged by M.Freeman, M.Yamashita, S.McCurry and etc. They unanimously decided no one produced a pic that was good enough to win the ten thousand dollars prize. It becomes a case of are you experienced enough to disagree with their decision. As for the event, another means to pick the winner was decided upon.
