Amateur Photographer of the Year \u2013 known as APOY \u2013 is a points-based competition, where photographers can take home prizes for each round, culminating in the overall winner being awarded the top prize at the end of the year. Last year, that accolade went to Nguyen Tan Tu\u1ea5n who proved he had the prowess to excel at a variety of different subjects. But who will go the distance this year? This is a competition which will push you to try genres and subjects outside of your comfort zone, which can only be of benefit to your photography.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Top Tip<\/strong> &#8211; Amateur Photographer editor Nigel Atherton says, \u2018You get one free entry with every copy of AP, but don\u2019t forget that you can buy additional entries from Photocrowd to increase your chances of winning. When it comes to choosing an image to submit, consider how it looks at smaller sizes \u2013 this is often the way judges will first come across your image and may make their initial judgement based upon it.\u2019<\/p>\n<h3>Landscape Photographer of the Year<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Opens<\/strong> TBC<br \/>\n<strong>Closed<\/strong> 2022 competition now closed<br \/>\n<strong>Entry fee<\/strong> \u00a39.99 single image, \u00a324.99 up to 8 images, \u00a334.99 up to 20 images.<br \/>\n<strong>Prizes<\/strong> Total fund worth \u00a320,000, overall winner receives \u00a310,000.<br \/>\n<strong>Website<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lpoty.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lpoty.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>About<\/strong> &#8211; After taking a break in 2019, one of the UK\u2019s biggest photography competitions is back in 2020 and 2021.

It\u2019s a competition which encourages you to look to your own doorstep for stunning imagery of local flora and fauna, with each year having a special theme.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Top Tip<\/strong> &#8211; Judge and former winner of the British Wildlife Photography Awards, photographer and conservationist Paul Colley, says, \u2018Find a common subject close to home, experiment and accept initial failure as the price of ultimate success. Competition judges get excited by different images, by novelty and imagination. A common subject close to home allows you to try many new ideas quickly, which experimental photography demands. Novelty has possibilities constrained only by your imagination. Imagine the subject in a completely different way and then invest all your time working out how to do it. Most people give up after a few failed experiments. The imaginative souls who tough it out succeed.\u2019<\/p>\n<h3>Close Up Photographer of the Year<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Opens<\/strong> TBC<br \/>\n<strong>Closes<\/strong> 2022 competition now closed<br \/>\n<strong>Entry fee<\/strong> \u00a310-\u00a340 depending on number of entries<br \/>\n<strong>Prize<\/strong> \u00a32,500 cash prize for the winner<br \/>\n<strong>Website<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cupoty.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cupoty.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>About<\/strong> &#8211; Now in its third year, Close Up Photographer of the Year was founded by long-term AP contributor Tracy Calder and her husband Daniel. With a love for macro photography, they launched CUPOTY in 2018 to celebrate close-up, macro and micro photography, allowing it to take centre stage. The annual competition is open to anyone using any device, from a mobile phone to an electron microscope. The competition has a number of different categories, with Insects being a new subject for 2020.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Top Tip<\/strong> &#8211; Founder of the awards Tracy Calder says, \u2018Remove distractions \u2013 any blemish will appear magnified when shooting up close, so spend time removing specks of pollen, dust etc at the time of shooting if possible. Think about the background \u2013 last year entrants used everything from a velvet glove to a bank folder. The area behind your subject should never be an afterthought. Tell a story \u2013 beautiful close-up portraits of butterflies and plants are wonderful, but if you can show an element of behaviour then it will lift your image to another level.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_155503&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 695px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/PLANTS-CUPOTY-\u00a9-Barry-Webb-Holly-Parachute.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"155503\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/PLANTS-CUPOTY-\u00a9-Barry-Webb-Holly-Parachute.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"675\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">PLANTS CUPOTY \u00a9 Barry Webb Holly Parachute.
