Sacrifice

You bet I was smiling ear to ear, upon receiving an email from Digital Camera UK's POTY team. One of my pictures made it to the finals of the magazine's Portrait Photographer of the Year competition.

Hello fibz

Happy New Year - and congratulations! You have been short-listed in the Digital Camera Photographer of the Year competition.

Your image, Sacrifice, has been chosen to enter the final judging stage in the Portraits category.

We received more than 81,000 entries in the 2007 competition, so to reach this stage is a real achievement.

As your image has been short-listed, we now need you to send us a high res version. This should be print quality, in preparation for the reproduction of prize-winning and short-listed images to promote and publicise the Photographer of the Year competition and exhibition. As stated in the Rules, you, the photographer, will retain copyright of your image and where it is reproduced, you will be credited.

The image should be supplied at a resolution of 240-300dpi, at an approximate size of 25cm along the shortest length. If your image was originally uploaded with a digital frame, please remove this for the high res version.


Good luck!


The Photographer of the Year team
