Amateur Photographer of the Year 2011 is organized in association with Canon. Round one launched this week, Shooting trees, where the first-prize winner will receive a fantastic Canon EOS 60D with EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens. Whether you are a regular APOY entrant or have never entered before, now is your chance to submit an image and see if you can win one of Canon’s flagship cameras.
About
Organizers are looking for original, imaginative and technically well-executed images that explore the theme in an exciting way. Included, there is a table outlining the themes for each round, plus the closing dates and the issues in which the results will appear. In the first issue and online every month will be published a brief explaining the criteria for that round.
Judges will narrow down the images to a shortlist of 50, and will look again at the images and award points for creativity, technical excellence and how far the image fulfills the brief. The three images with the most points will win the top three prizes for that round. The top 30 highest scoring images will be published in the magazine at the end of the month and the scores from the top 50 finalists will be added to our league table. The names of the top 50 finalists and their points scores will be posted on our website after each round. The person with the most points after the final round will be crowned Amateur Photographer of the Year 2011 and win £5,000 worth of Canon equipment.
