describe their genre as Gasp! Shock! Horror! and I think that comes across perfectly in Brendan\u2019s winning image, the only photo to be chosen by all three judges in the first round of shortlisting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOverall, Brendan submitted a really strong set of images, but this one stood out for the moment he caught the two guys surveying rather than playing. Just a great frame.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChris\u2019 image was a great, emotional shot of the Acoda guitarist with shallow depth of field and precise focus on his face, which makes it a really strong image. If the crop had been tighter, this might have won. Roy\u2019s image is a lovely, well framed character portrait. Something different, but right up there with the best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Entry to the competition was open to all amateur photographers, who could submit up to 25 photos. They just had to have been taken during the festival that took place in scores of diverse venues, on outdoor stages and in the streets, with around 250 of the best, new and emerging artists from across the UK taking part.<\/p>\n<h2>All top 25 photo gallery<\/h2>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-2101 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worcestermusicfestival.co.uk\/features\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/hey_you_guys_marrs_bar_brendan_stephens-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-2112\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-2112'>\n\t\t\t\tFirst Prize &#8211;
