Is it me or have the Leica Oskar Barnack Awards lost their direction?

To my mind these "award winning" shots our out of focus, badly light snaps. Compare the set to these portraits:

If you think it is shit just say so, no need to be so coy.

 

Whether the Barnack Awards has lost direction I'm not sure what direction it is meant to be going in. I would agree that the latest awards doesn't seem to be a vintage year – quite a lot of derivative stuff (including, I think, the winning entry) – but there is still plenty IMO that is interesting and enjoyable to view. As to being in focus and well lit, there are many accessible shortlisted projects that presumably meet your standards?
