David Evans' curator comments: "Recently, we've all been swamped with "We're here for you" messages, so I'll say this isn't one of them. Well, not really... This year we've hired some amazing but very expensive super-geeks for the coders to make a major upgrade to our system to deliver the work. Now we're happy to have a coronavirus-free online platform. And we are grateful that our invaluable and regular sponsors have not faltered in their support of the 11th EPSON Pano Awards, and several new ones have joined.

On this optimistic note, we declare the competition open..."

David says that in presenting the award, the Curator's Choice will first and foremost look for current topics that reflect the modern world. He also reminds you that there is no statute of limitations in the competition and you can submit your works, which have been filmed at any time. Find gold on your hard drives, something that will make you smile. Good luck to you all!
