Information
The PPY is a UK competition and as such has specific entry criteria. To avoid any disappointment please take care to read the rules!
Entries are welcomed from professional photographers based in the United Kingdom (irrespective of their nationality) however, those who are not UK based MUST either be working predominantly for the UK media, be UK or ROI citizens, or submitting work commissioned by a UK media organisation.
All photographs entered must have been taken between 1st January 2010 and 31st March 2011 inclusive, but they do not need to have been published.
Entries were accepted from:
Saturday 2nd April 2011
The closing date was extended and was midnight on Thursday 21st April 2011
Each photographer could enter up to 80 photographs, as well as making up to 6 Multimedia and Digital Film entries cross the fourteen individual categories.
Members of The BPPA can enter free of charge. Please make sure your subscription is up to date, to check, you can email: membership@thebppa.com
We ask non-members to pay a single £25 admin fee.
All entries must be made using our custom designed web-based entry system. Its elegance and bespoke functionality has been highly praised since its unveiling in 2005. For that reason we regret we CANNOT accept entries in person, by courier, mail, or e-mail.
The Jury will meet soon after to choose their most compelling 150 or so images from 2010, and to select the category winners.
It is worth remembering that these may not necessarily be from the most high profile events, but the pictures that together represent the very highest standards in creativity, professionalism and technique.
