With more than 12,500 entries from nearly 2,500 photographers, this year’s Amateur Photographer of the Year competition was more closely fought than ever.
At the end of Round 9, Daniel was in equal tenth place. By winning the final round of this year’s APOY, he leapfrogged everyone else to take first place overall. In addition, he came tenth in Round 2, Travel, and fourth in Round 9, Action. He was shortlisted in five further rounds, displaying the kind of consistency that reaps rewards. AP editor Nigel Atherton says: ‘To win the overall title of Amateur Photographer of the Year you need to be good across a broad range of genres, not just one. Daniel’s entries have all been technically and creatively excellent.’

Last year’s winner of Young APOY has done it again. And he was back even more strongly. In 2022 he didn’t win any category overall, but this year he won two (Travel and Street), and was placed in the top ten in a further four rounds. Nigel Atherton says: ‘Yousef is clearly a very talented young photographer. Some of his entries would easily have made the top ten in the adult contest and perhaps even won.’

We’ve now been running our camera club competition for three years – and for the third time, the runaway winner is Launceston Camera Club. With an astonishing 905 points accumulated by no fewer than 27 members, this club knows how to galvanise its regulars to enter the competition and win points. They came an impressive 475 points ahead of their nearest competitors, second placed Plymouth Camera Club.
Can they be beaten next year? May that be a challenge to other camera clubs across the country! Nigel Atherton says: ‘Scoring a hat-trick of wins is an amazing achievement by Launceston. Is there a club out there that will take on the challenge of stopping them from making it four next year?’
