Amateur Photographer Awards 2012

The Amateur Photographer Awards have recognised the best photographic equipment for 36 years. We are looking forward to announcing the winners of the 2012 Amateur Photographer Awards on 26 January.

The awards will be split into different categories for cameras, software, printers, accessories, lenses etc, as well as the Good Service Awards for retailers. This recognises retailers who have been commended as giving great sales and after-sales service.

There will also be a grand prize for the all-important Amateur Photographer reader-nominated Reader Product of the Year.

Two further awards will also be presented for ?Power of Photography? and an ?Exceptional Achievement in Photography?.
