Somethings are changing for 2021, so please make sure you read below before entering an image or nominating someone.

Our Entry & Nomination Period
The entry and nomination period will run from November 15th through December 3rd.  During this time you can enter images into our End of the Year Image Contest as well as nominate photographers for our Photographer of the Year Award.

You can nominate anyone for the Photographer of the Year Award - Which is someone you thought represented and supported the photography community for 2021.  This can be someone who shoots film, digital, or hybrid. 

You may also enter any image (as long as you have full copyright to it and it was not taken at a workshop) into our Image of the Year Awards.  Categories include Color (film), Black & White (Film), Double Exposure (Film), and Hybrid (digital images).  There will be a winner in each category and A Image of the Year selected by Belle Lumière and the Judges. 

Remember, everyone received one free entry (we know you have at-least one image you are darn proud of) but you are able to enter as many images as you would like.  It is $5.00 for a single additional entry, $10.00 for 3 additional entries, and $20 for 7 additional entries.  Again you can enter as many images as you would like.  Each form allows for up to 7 additional entries.  If you would like to enter more, you can submit the form again.

Judging
Between December 4th and December 12th the judges will review all entered images. Names are not included on images so the judges do not know who took what image.  The judges will select the top 10-15 images in each category for the community to vote on.  

Voting
Voting will run from December 13th through December 27th. You can vote once a day. 

Winners
Winners will be announced and contacted on January 5th
