The ceremony was held at the Central Hall Westminster in London and drew over 250 guests. The Event Photography Awards, a not-for-profit competition, received 2,300 images from over 20 countries. The winning image, Train to Glastonbury by David Parry, earned him a prize of £1,000, which is roughly equivalent to US$1,350.
