The jury met up yesterday to look through all the submissions we received (nearly 200 envelopes!) for our photo project (known in French as PHPA), and the selection process was pretty tough!

Here are the names of the twelve chosen photographers that will surprise us with their great work for PHPA in 2012…After the selection was made, a month and hotel were picked for each photographer, so now we know who is going where and when!
