Amateur Photographer of the Year 2011
Welcome to Amateur Photographer of the Year 2011 in association with Canon. This week we launch Round one, 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.
We’re looking for original, imaginative and technically well-executed images that explore the theme in an exciting way. We have included 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 we will publish a brief explaining the criteria for that round.
Our 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 fulfils 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.

In my opinion, Canon is always the best
There are actually some interesting points in time in this article but I do not know if I see all of them center to heart. There is some validity but I will take hold opinion until I appear into it further. Very good post , thanks and we want much more! Added to FeedBurner also
this competition is only for UK citizens?
I have some pictures that I’m not exactly sure what theme they fit. I’m in middle school, so when I saw “Amateur” I thought that would be it, but it doesn’t really say the theme… Help!
Thanks,
GG
