The POTY is a monthly photography competition among members on a monthly theme which runs from September to May. At the end of the season, in June, the member with the highest score is the Photographer of the Year and the Photograph of the Year is elected from all the winning photos of the preceding months.
On the Archive page you will find links to the POTY pages of other years as well as a link to the POTY competition rules.
POTY themes for 2024-2025
Each theme has its own page, which contains tutorials and examples to inspire you. The results of the POTY (including the 5 best pictures) are added to these pages during the year and at the end of the season they are published in a POTY book.
