Photographer: Tessa Bunney - Overall Winner 

 On Wednesday evening last week I was invited to the Mall Galleries by Pink Lady Apples to the awards of the 2014 Food Photographer of the year competition. 

The competition, still fairly new attracts entrants for across the globe all hoping to win the £5000 prize, this year the competition received over 6000 images and video pieces. The evening hosted by Jay Rayner, restaurant and food critic for The Observer guided us through the winning images from the numerous categories. Photographer's have a choice of over 15 categories to enter their images into including, Food Portraiture, Food in the Field, Food in the Street and An Apple a Day.

The competition is open to photographers of all standards and is very affordable to enter with the 2014 fees only £20 per adult allowing up to five entries, extra entries are charged at £3. In my opinion, compared to other competitions, this fee is very reasonable. It is certainly my intention to enter next years competition.

 The images below are some of my favourite that were on display at the exhibition. More images can be viewed here.
