Digital Camera photographer of the year 2009 now open
Enteries are now open for one of the World’s biggest photography competitions, Digital Camera Photographer Of The Year 2009. Prize money is totalling 10 000 pounds and categories include:
This is Britain | World in motion | Man-made | Planet earth | Destination everywhere | Fashion | Landscapes | People and portraits | Black and white | Digital vision
Photographers can submit 5 entries per category, with the competition closing on 30th September 2009. This has changed from pervious years, where each category had their own closing date.
There is a maximum size of 2MB per photograph, which should be uploaded in jpg format. You also need to submit a name for the photograph, description and camera equipment details including settings such as ISO, Exposure, Aperture, Focal length etc.
One of the most frequently asked questions concerns image editing. Here is the official reponse for photographers to consider when preparing their submissions:
‘You should use image enhancement and digital darkroom techniques to
optimise an entry into the competition, such as touching up a portrait,
building a panorama or creating an HDR image from multiple exposures.
Adding or removing significant elements of a composition is discouraged
in all but the Creative Vision category. Where appropriate, original
files may be requested if a photograph reaches the shortlist of
photographs selected by the independent panel of judges.’
