Juror: Carrie Levy, Creative Director, The New York Times

The Excellence in Multimedia Award is presented to artists working to expand the traditional experience of presenting and viewing photography. The winners will work in a variety of mediums in addition to photography, including but not limited to installation and video. Three winners will receive a feature on All About Photo, inclusion in the Winners Exhibition at El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe during the Review Santa Fe Photo Festival, and an online exhibition. Additionally, the first-place winner will receive complimentary participation and presentation in Review Santa Fe. 

The 2019 Excellence in Multimedia Award was presented to Rocky McCorkle for his “walk through movie” You and Me and a Sunny Day. The series of 135 stills are printed larger-than-life and arranged inside a room. Viewers experience the movie unfolding in three-dimensional space, watching the star, Gilda, relive memories with her late husband. Juror Josh Raab writes, “In You and Me on a Sunny Day, Rocky McCorkle spent years photographing his neighbor in elaborate sets that were simultaneously glamorous and daunting. These explosions of color give a peek into a fabricated life while inferring truths about Rocky’s subject.”
