Background
To celebrate the talent in the UK’s photographic community, they are officially launching our Professional Photographer of the Year awards for 2011.This year’s Professional Photographer of the Year awards are only open to digital submissions but to all photographers, worldwide.You can enter as many categories as you wish, but only one image per category apart from the Portfolio category. Each category will be judged and a winner will be chosen from each and put forward to a final judging from which the overall winner will be chosen. The PPOTY 2011 Awards will be hosted by theprintspace.Theprintspace offers professional photo & fine art printing, mounting & framing to customers via the web and at our central London print studio. They have 13 categories for photographers to enter and the titles are generic to encourage as many as possible to take part. There will be a winner and runner-up in each category, plus Best Portfolio winner and the Professional Photographer of the Year title.
Eligibility
- All photographers over the age of 18, except (i) employees and principals of Professional Photographer, its affiliates, and participating
sponsors (collectively, the “Competition Partners”).
- Eligible participants must be natural persons and not corporate entities.
Prize
They would like to think that becoming Professional Photographer of the Year 2011, or a category or Portfolio winner, are strong enough reasons for entering. Yes, there will be an exclusive winners’ party with sponsors and judges, plus magazine staff, but we also feel that you need to get something a bit extra. So, each winner will receive an exclusive logo to promote themselves to the industry and to their clients, which can then be used to help market themselves through websites, stationery and business cards, as a mark of distinction and a sign of quality. In addition, there will be a section created on the PP website profiling the PPOTY winners, using this logo as a reference point, so potential clients can visit and discover their award winning photographer.
Deadline: 27 January 2012
