Photo Contest: The 2012 Int’l Garden Photographer of the Year

Entry Fee: From Free to £25 per category
Winner is: Judged
Deadline: November 30, 2012

The sixth annual competition opens in March 2012 with a deadline of November 30th 2012. There are also three Photo Projects seasonal competitions, they are based on specific themes.

Deadlines for these are as follows:

Monochrome: 1 March – 31 March
Macro Art: 1 April – 31 May
Micro Creatures: 1 June – 31 July

Uniquely among major photographic competitions, all entrants can receive professional feedback on their entries – after the judging of the competition is completed and on request.

The competition is open to everyone, amateurs and professionals alike. Entries are welcome from any country in the world. There are no restrictions on the type of camera you use, or the techniques you use to produce your final image. For more detailed technical information, see Help

You have to pay a fee to enter. But unlike free competitions, we provide feedback on request (after the judging), we have a huge range of cash and other prizes available to winners and to runners-up, together with the unique prize of having a photograph exhibited in our exhibitions

Types of entry

Single images: These are judged as individual, stand-alone photographs.
Portfolios: A portfolio is a group of photographs that work both as individual images and as part of a themed collection. A portfolio can explore a location, a mood, a colour, a plant group, in fact any garden-related subject that fits into one of the categories – but all the images should relate to one another and to the theme as a whole.

PRIZES

SINGLE IMAGE (International Garden Photographer of the Year): £5000
PORTFOLIO: ROYAL PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY GOLD MEDAL PLUS £2000 CASH.

This year we will again place the emphasis not only on the great cash prizes we have on offer, but ways in which you can use your competition entry to improve your photography. In addition to the cash and equipment prizes, we are offering everyone who enters the chance to have a personal critique of your entry.

Winners will be announced on March 1st 2013.
