Fully illustrated in colour throughout, the book features all the selected entries from this year's competition, as well as comments and insights from the judges. The 2010 judging panel will comprise of Sandy Nairne, Director, and Terence Pepper, Curator of Photographs at the National Portrait Gallery, London, plus a selection of high-profile figures from the world of photography. The catalogue includes interviews with the prizewinners by Richard McClure that give further insight into the photographers behind the portraits.
