The Society of Photographers’ Photographer of the Year 2024
2024 has been another incredible year for The Society of Photographers’ Monthly Image Competition, with 6,481 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, 584 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 2024.
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 Society of Photographers’ would like to thank the following
Andreas Tsiartas, Angela Adams, Christina Lauder, Clare Louise, Damian McGillicuddy, Dario Righetto, Duncan Cauchi, Fiona Elizabeth, Fiona McKean, Gary Hill, Gemma Sains, Gordon McGowan, Gurvir Johal, Iain Poole, James Musselwhite, Jocelyn Conway, Joe Lenton, Kelly Brown, Kris Anderson, Lenny Smith, Marko Dutka, Mark Rossetto, Martina Warenfeldt, Mike McNamee, Panikos Hajistilly, Paul Wilkinson, Ramon Sammut, Richard Bradbury, Sanjay Jogia, Sarah Edmunds, Satnam Dosajh, Scott Johnson, Sean Conboy, Tim Wilde and Tracey Lund.
