Photography isn’t like a horse race where it’s (usually) very clear who comes first or second. Photography is subjective. The judges express an opinion. First, second and third places are a matter of preference as much as anything else.

However, the good thing about our photography competition is you don’t have to get a place to be successful, because you can also earn bronze, silver and gold awards, depending on how good your photos are.

This is the beauty of competitions that hand out awards because there’s no limit to how many can be given by the judges. If your photography reaches a standard, you get an award. It doesn’t matter if another photograph is better or not.

So, why should you enter our photography competition? Because it lets you know as objectively as possible if your work sits up the top or has some way to go. Getting one or more silver awards in the Better Photography Photographer of the Year Awards is the collective opinion of three AIPP Grand Masters of Photography. Earning a bronze shows you’re on the right track; scoring a gold means the judges are jealous!

There is a $5000 cash prize pool, entries can win Gold, Silver or Bronze awards and every entry receives a judge's comment to assist them improve.
