The theme was open.

The judges were:

• Basic and Intermediate levels: Patrick StCin, Efrat Morag, Dennis Bosserman
• Advanced level judge: Tim Durham - Merced  (from PSA)

Larger, more detailed versions of the winning photos can be seen on napfs.org at "Competitions > Past Competition Winners > Competition Winners for 2023"

There was no popular vote for the basic class due to a competition setup problem.

After the basic critiques, Stephen's computer crashed, so there was a discussion on judging while he rebooted.
