    Inspired by the proliferation of wonderful food photography in a huge variety of applications, the Awards seek to single out not only technical skill, but originality of treatment and a real sense of connection with the subject matter whatever it may be. Whether simply an apple on a plate, a cake of spun sugar, a baker covered in flour at four in the morning, or a pot simmering on an open fire in the African bush.

    The awards cover nine categories:

    • Cream of the Crop
    • Food in the Street
    • Food in the Field
    • Food and its Place
    • Food for Sale
    • The Philip Harben Award for Food in Action
    • Food Portraiture
    • Young (under 18s)
    • An Apple a Day (in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity)

    Entries must be digital files. Scans of transparencies and negatives are also accepted. For the initial entry into the competition, images must be submitted as JPEG files (jpg or jpeg) and should be no more than 800 pixels on the longest side of the image.

    The copyright in all images submitted to the awards will remain with the entrant who will be credited in accordance with the terms and conditions.

    Eligibility


    Open to professionals and amateurs alike across the world. No image which has already won a photographic competition can be entered.

    Prize


    You can win £5,000 (approx. 7,700 USD) and the first ever Pink Lady® Food Photographer of the Year Award Trophy for your outstanding achievement. In addition to the £5,000 prize as the winner you will get a dedicated press release promoting your winning image to all national media and photographer/food press, so you will see all your hard work and creativity published and credited in all media made available to the organisers both on and off line to millions of readers and viewers.

    Category winners will receive a prestigious trophy and voucher for camera equipment. Winners of the three Young category age-groups will receive £100 each.

    Moreover, short-listed entrants will have the opportunity to see their work displayed in the Mall Galleries, London SW1 in the spring of 2012 in a four day open to public exhibition giving free exposure for talented artists.
