Amateur Photographer of the Year 2010
Welcome to APOY – Amateur Photographer of the Year 2010 in association with Canon. Last year’s contest was one of our closest and best yet, and we have no doubt that this year’s competition will be just as thrilling. As you can see below, we have set out a list of all ten themes for the 2010 contest to help you better plan your APOY year. In the first issue of each month we will publish a brief, such as this one, describing the criteria we are looking for in the current round. We have also listed the closing dates for each round and the dates when the results will be published. As per last year, we will only accept entries in the form of prints, slides or emailed digital files that conform to the specifications set out at the web link listed below. We look forward to seeing your entries and wish you all the best of luck.
ELIGIBILITY: This competition is open to bona fide amateur photographers and students only. That is, entrants should not earn more than 10% of their total annual income or £5,000 annually from photography.

Is this contest only for photographers in the UK?
This fits me to a ‘T’ I consider myself an amateur and am always learning.
This looks like a great contest. Hopefully, they take nature images.
Thanks for posting this!
