All the categories are the same as for the main competition \u2013 simply select the Young APOY option on Photocrowd when you upload your images. This category is free to enter; each category winner receives a \u00a3250 voucher, and the overall winner receives a voucher for \u00a3500 to spend at MPB.<\/p>\n
ENTER YOUNG AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR ROUND TWO, BLACK & WHITE HERE<\/a><\/h3>\nCamera Club award<\/h3>\n
Do you belong to a camera club? You can accumulate points for your society when you enter APOY, and after all the ten rounds are complete, the one with the most points will win a voucher for \u00a3500 to spend at MPB. The club might want to spend it on gear for use by members, or even run its own in-house competition with the prize going to the most successful photographer. It\u2019s entirely up to the winning group to decide.<\/p>\n\t\t

Plan your APOY 2022 year<\/h3>\n
Below is a list of all this year\u2019s rounds, including when they open, when they close and the dates the results will be announced in AP.<\/p>\n![\"apoy](\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/apoy-calendar-final-451x400.jpg\")
<\/a>\nWhat you win<\/h3>\n
Take your pick from MPB\u2019s huge catalogue of used gear<\/strong><\/p>\nThe winner of each round of APOY 2022 receives a \u00a3500 voucher to spend on anything at MPB. For this, you could treat yourself to a Nikon D5600<\/a>. This small-scale, lightweight DSLR is great for unobtrusive shooting, but doesn\u2019t compromise on quality with its 24MP sensor. The vari-angle LCD screen is extremely useful, too. Pick one up at MPB for \u00a3449 in mint condition.<\/p>\nIf you\u2019re in the market for a Sony lens, the FE 70-200mm f\/2.8 GM OSS is simply outstanding. The 23 elements in 18 group construction gives beautiful bokeh, and the lens is dust- and moisture-resistant. MPB\u2019s stock ranges in price from \u00a31,439 to \u00a31,669, depending on condition.<\/p>\n
Another great all-round APS-C DSLR, the Canon EOS 80D<\/a> features a 24MP sensor, 45-point hybrid AF system and 7fps continuous shooting. This good-value camera can be purchased at MPB for between \u00a3404 and \u00a3579. There are second-placed and third-placed voucher prizes of \u00a3100 and \u00a350, while the winner of the Youth category wins a voucher for \u00a3250.<\/p>\nCheck out www.mpb.com to take your pick from thousands of items of second-hand gear.<\/p>\n![\"apoy](\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/in-assoc.jpg\")
