New Year London Launch For #WexMondays Exhibition

Wex Photo Video is set to run a unique exhibition of winning work from over 17,000 images entered throughout 2017 into its hugely popular weekly #WexMondays photo competition.

Photographers across the UK have been tweeting their best images on any theme they choose, using the #WexMondays hashtag. Judges will confirm the winner of  the coveted Wex Photographer of the Year 2017 award at a special event at the company’s new Whitechapel store on January 11, 2018 - and a selection of winning work from shortlisted photographers will run at the Commercial Road E1 venue (near Aldgate East underground station) from Jan 12 until Feb 25.

Matt Devine, Wex Photo Video head of content explained: "This weekly competition has proved a massive hit with photographers in recent years with total annual entries now soaring over the 17,000 mark.  Our rules state that photographers can enter a single image per week but any photo submitted must have been captured during the previous seven days.

Our judges draw up a shortlist based on technique and creativity and choose a winner and two runners-up. Points are accumulated across the year and the top scoring photographer is presented with the prestigious Wex Photographer of the Year title, plus a Wex Photo Video voucher worth £1500."

He added: "The winners will be officially announced at a special awards evening at our flagship Whitechapel store on the evening of January 11 and from the next morning all visitors to the branch can browse the 2017 exhibition."
