Designed for press photographers by press photographers.
The Press Photographer's Year is the definitive competition that recognises
and showcases the outstanding press photography taken for the UK news media, and is now in its third year.
This year's competition deadline has passed. We would like to thank those of you who entered for your participation.
Following on from last year's awards where, again, over 6000 entries were received, a jury of ten distinguished photographers will make their edit of
150 or so of the best news and sports photographs taken in 2007. Thirteen prizes will be awarded in total.
All these photographs will be published in Assignments 3 - The Press Photographer's Year and then exhibited at the National Theatre's Lyttelton foyer on London's South Bank from 5th July 2008.
Sponsored by Canon cameras since its inception, the aim is to demonstrate once again that even in an age of rolling television news, internet and satellite communication, the traditional still image burns the keenest, fastest impression on the public conscience and is the most effective way to show the world the world as it really is.
