VIEWPOINT INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION
MARCH 2026 COMPETITION WINNER
Louise Trotter (Canada)
"Playful"
Artist Statement:
Artist Statement:
This image was taken at the historic Magul Maduwa, located within the Temple of the Sacred Tooth in Kandy, Sri Lanka—once the supreme court and royal audience hall of the Kandyan Kingdom. While the site carries immense historical weight, I was drawn to this fleeting, unscripted moment of two schoolboys chasing each other around a centuries-old pillar.
Playful is about that intersection: how children instinctively reclaim even the most solemn spaces, reminding us that the pulse of life never stops beating, no matter what history has passed.
OUR NEXT OPEN PRINT REVIEW
Saturday March 7
10am to Noon
Print reviews are open to the public and free of charge! Bring your prints (any size, framed or not) for a friendly critique led by a Gallery member. If you've ever wondered what others think of your work but were too shy to ask or always received the dreaded "It's nice" response, this is your opportunity. We hope to see you there!
ViewPoint Gallery's annual International Photography Competition provides an opportunity for 12 selected artists to display their winning entries at our gallery for one month each. Open to all photographers, from any region of the world, working in any style of photography. The 2026 competition is now open.
