Photography enthusiasts have been barred from entering a contest organised by the Garden Photographers? Association (GPA) despite the organisation?s website stating it is open to professionals and ?aspiring professionals?.<\/p>\n

The GPA denied it has changed the rules for this year?s contest which, according to a statement released to AP today, is open to professionals, photography students and photography assistants – but not amateurs, <\/p>\n

However, it is unclear whether amateurs will be allowed to enter because the statement added: ?The association is at present considering extending the scope of the competition by allowing amateur photographers to enter as well.?<\/p>\n

The contest boasts \u00a310,000 in prizes.<\/p>\n
