The Digital Camera Photographer of the Year competition is the leading contest for anyone with a passion for digital photography and is open to both amateur and professional photographers of any nationality. Its aim is to reveal the most inspirational and imaginative photographers from around the globe. Last year, the competition attracted more than 81,000 entries from around the world.
The winners can be seen here.
The competition is organised by the UK's fastest-growing photography title, Digital Camera - the magazine for today's photographer. You can find out more about the magazine

www.digitalcameramagazine.co.uk contains a wealth of technical advice and creative ideas for better photography - and there's a dedicated
Photographer of the Year 2008 forum.
Digital Camera is pleased to work with Jessops as the official partner for Photographer of the Year 2008, and welcomes Canon and Adobe as sponsors. The competition is also partnering with Sky Arts and the Royal Photographic Society this year. You can find out more about the sponsors

There are ten
categories to choose from and you may choose to enter just one or all ten - and you can enter up to five photos in each of these categories. The submission and voting process is web-based so you'll be able to track the progress of your pictures through this competition website.
The competition is open for entries until the end of September, when the category winners and overall winner will be selected by a panel of judges. The overall winner will get the coveted £15,000 main prize and be declared Digital Camera Photographer of the Year 2008.
We have made a number of improvements to the competition this year, introducing some challenging new categories and changing a number of significant rules. Please visit the
