The Society of Photographers’ Photographer of the Year 2023
2023 has been another incredible year for The Societies of Photographers’ Monthly Image Competition, with 5,469 images entered throughout the year. The 20×16″ Print Competition held during this year’s Convention had a fantastic range of entries and the quality was stunning, 591 entries coming in from all over the globe for this prestigious competition. We would like to thank all the entrants to both the competitions.
Each of the categories from our Monthly Image Competition has nominees which have been chosen from the Gold Award-winning images from 2023.
Throughout the year we use a group of Judges to do Qualifications, Monthly Image Competition judging, End of Year judging and 20×16″ Print Competition judging at The Convention. They give their time and expertise for nothing, and we at the Societies would like to thank the following
