Photograph of The Year Competition
A weekly competition runs in the members-only forums to select the Photograph of the Year (POTY) from photographs taken that week. Each week one of a panel of volunteer selectors chooses around 50 of the weeks best photos. Last weeks winner then picks their favourite photo. After the end of the year the weekly winners are voted to decide the best photo of each month. A selector is chosen (usually the person with the most nominations not to get a weekly win) to pick the winning image from the final twelve.
The annual winners are;
- 2011 "Morning Walk" by Mike Smith.
- 2010 "The north ridge of Stob Ban" by Karl and Ali
- 2009 "Miners Hill" by Ian Slater.
- 2008 "Deer Fence on the Shank of Drumfollow" by Gwen and James Anderson.
- 2007 "Horsey Drainage Mill" by Rodney Burton.
- 2006 "Islands of mud, East Hoyle Bank" by Peter Craine.

“Our memory is like a shop in the window of which is exposed now one, now another photograph of the same person. And as a rule the most recent exhibit remains for some time the only one to be seen.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

“I’d been in Burbank for three days, trying to suffuse a really dull-looking rocker with charisma.... It is possible to photograph what isn’t there; it’s damned hard to do, and consequently a very marketable talent.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“The author’s conviction on this day of New Year is that music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance; that poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music; but this must not be taken as implying that all good music is dance music or all poetry lyric. Bach and Mozart are never too far from physical movement.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“Playing games with agreed upon rules helps children learn to live by rules, establish the delicate balance between competition and cooperation, between fair play and justice and exploitation and abuse of these for personal gain. It helps them learn to manage the warmth of winning and the hurt of losing; it helps them to believe that there will be another chance to win the next time.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
