Part of Amateur Photographer of the Year 2024

Open Judging Results
Brief

A new category for 2024, this is where anything goes. You might have an image that doesn’t quite fit into one of our other categories, or you might simply want to save your absolute best shots for this one. Whether you make still lifes or salt prints, create abstracts or fine art, shoot cars or cats, there are no restrictions on subject matter here. Perhaps you even had an image you wanted to enter into one of our previous rounds, but had already uploaded the limit of four? Whatever the content of your composition and whatever your reason for shooting it, all styles and subjects are welcome. Enjoy!

There's over £16,000 worth of prizes to be won in APOY24, generously supplied by our sponsors, Camera Centre UK, Adobe and ViewSonic, with the overall winner at the end of the year crowned Amateur Photographer of the Year 2024. More details here…
