Deadline extended! Still a few days to enter the FEP European Professional Photographer of the Year Awards 2016!

Compo-Banner-2016---ready 

We registered a very huge number of entries in the last 3 days… the “traffic” caused some troubles to some you and you did not enter? Don’t worry! You still have time! Deadline extended: January 6th!
 

The competition is an unique opportunity for photographers to show-case their work amongst peers from all over Europe – and gain well deserved recognition in Diplomas and Gold, Silver & Bronze cameras for your work.

 
 
This year we are introducing :
 
–                     3 new categories – FASHION, SPORT and WILDLIFE.  Images for Reportage/Photojournalism, Wildlife, Sport and Landscape should be single image pictures.
 
–                     new facilities, in order to make the procedure easier for the entrants.
 
We also intend to highlight more intensively the achievements of Medallists and Diploma holders on our FEP web-site. There will be special galleries where individual photographers’ images are going to be displayed  – to help you all promote your well-deserved achievements!
 
ENTER NOW HERE!
 
Last but not least: HAPPY NEW YEAR! 
Our best wishes for a wonderful 2016!
