How does live judging work?

All judges will be on the live stream and the photos that made it to the final round will be viewed. A more detailed outline for the judging process will be described in the introduction of the live stream as well as in the beginning of most categories. Judges will discuss only the images that they want to talk about, however, the feedback and discussions throughout each day are invaluable in explaining the process and their decisions.

All those that submitted entries will be notified of the upcoming live stream judging, along with anyone subscribed to the DFA email list. To sign up, please provide your email here: https://www.documentaryfamilyawards.com/sign-me-up/

Award winners, honorable mentions and a list of the finalist photographers will also be published on the DFA website after the judging broadcast concludes.
