Tommaso won no fewer than four rounds in this year’s competition – Low Light (Round One), Best of British (Round Five), Street (Round Nine) and Action (Round Ten), which is a superb achievement. He was shortlisted in four further rounds, giving him an unassailable lead.
AP Editor Nigel Atherton says: ‘The secret to winning APOY is entering lots of rounds and being consistently good across a variety of genres. Tommaso is a deserving winner of this year’s competition, with a great set of pictures.’

Although Yousef won the final round - Action - and was also placed in the top ten in a further four rounds, and shortlisted in three others, which demonstrates that entering as many categories as possible can still win you the overall prize.
It’s consistency that counts. Nigel Atherton says: ‘Yousef is very talented for his age, and could have a bright future ahead of him.’

If the name looks familiar, it’s because Launceston Camera Club also walked away with our camera club prize last year. Building on their strength, they persuaded 19 members to enter this time round – four more than in 2021, and scored a highly impressive 510 points, which is 20 up on last year. Their enthusiasm for the competition saw them take the lead early on. The question is, who will beat them next year?
Nigel Atherton says: ‘Will any other clubs step up and give Launceston a run for their money next year?’
