As a happy consequence of working with websites for artists and photographers on a daily basis, we get to see a lot of great artworks and photographs. Some we think, may even be potential future competition winners, which is why we thought to bring the UK
Landscape Photographer of the Year awards to your attention!
The winner for 2011 of the Landscape Photographer of the Year has already been announced, so you now have the time to get ready for sending in entries for the 2012 competition. There were some absolutely fabulous pictures entered in 2011, and no doubt choosing a winner was an incredibly difficult task.
As well as having the honour of winning such a competition, there are other bonus' to help spur you on, such as a £10,000 prize fund, and the chance to have your photographs published in the Sunday Times Magazine, and also in a book dedicated to the competition.
There are actually two classes within the competition; Landscape Photographer of the Year and the Young Landscape Photographer of the Year for entrants who are aged 16 or under, so anyone of any age, and any ability can enter with a chance to suceed.
Here's a quick look at some of the finalists, and the work of the 2011 winner, Robert Fulton:
