The POTY is a monthly photography competition among members on a monthly theme. At the end of the year the person with the highest score is the Photographer of the Year. In 2021-2022 this was once again Lex Scheers. ‘Don’t dare to disturb me’ by Susanne Engelhardt was elected as Photograph of the Year from all the number 1 entries you can see in the gallery on this page. On the Archive page you will find links to the POTY pages of other years as well as a link to the competition rules.
The themes for 2021-2022
