Photographers, it's your time to shine with the first annual D-Photo/Canon Amateur Photographer of the Year Competition.
An enormous kit bag full of gear is up for grabs, with more than $5000 worth of prizes there for the taking, including four Canon MP990 printers for category winners, and the grand prize of a Canon EOS 50D dSLR with a 17-85mm IS lens.
Along with the four category winners, an overall winner selected from all submissions will be awarded the title of D-Photo/Canon Amateur Photographer of the Year.
Besides a host of great prizes, amateur photographers will also get the chance to see their images in an exclusive exhibition, displaying the best entries from the competition.
