8th Round of Photocrowd’s Amateur Photographer of the Year: Wildlife

Photocrowd is launching Amateur Photographer of the Year 2022 award. Amateur Photographer magazine invites amateur photographers from around the world to enter its annual competition for the chance to win monthly prizes, exposure in the magazine, and the title of ‘Amateur Photographer of the Year 2022’, which for the second year is brought to you in partnership with our sponsor, MPB.

As for round 8, theme is wildlife, we want to see your best animal and wildlife shots in this round, and you don’t necessarily need to go far to find inspiration. Whether you find your muse in the local park, a zoo, or the wilds of the Serengeti, research and patience can be the deciding factor between an average shot and an outstanding one. You might choose to fill the frame with the head of a majestic lion, capture the abstract shapes of a starling murmuration, or show an urban fox in an inner-city context. Wildlife is all around us, so make the most of it and capture it in a way we may not have seen before. Please note, this is not the round for domestic animals and pets.

• Every image submitted to an APOY2022 round will score points if it’s chosen by the judges.
• Your highest ranked image in each round will count towards your year-long APOY2022 ranking. Want to know how you’re getting on, and how far off the lead you are? Rankings will be updated after each round, and anyone who has scored points so far will be included.
• The winner of each round in APOY 2022 will take home a £500 (GBP) voucher from MPB. The second-placed photographer in each round will win a £100 (GBP) voucher, and third will receive a £50 (GBP) voucher.
• The overall winner of APOY 2022, will win a £1,000 (GBP) voucher from MPB, and will be crowned Amateur Photographer of the Year 2021.
