David Wala won the FujiFilm Student Award in 2008, a conjunction with Penguin Books to provide a cover for the re-issued version of Ralph Ellison's 1952 masterpiece. I found his website and wrote him an email. I was happy to see that he had replied today.
He said that "the image was created on a double glazed window with a stained coaster for the American Flag." I was amazed at his creativity, especially as he said that "he had come up with the idea on Friday night, photographed the cover on Saturday and submitted his entry on Monday."
The theme for the 2011 FujiFilm Student Award is Senses. The brief is to capture what Senses means to me. The deadline for entries is the end of February. I think this would be quite an interesting theme to explore.
