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.

Famous quotes containing the words photograph of, photograph, year and/or competition:
“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)
“The photograph is married to the eye,
Grafts on its bride one-sided skins of truth....”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“The first year was like icing.
Then the cake started to show through.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
