Judges for Digital Photographer of the Year Awards 2007 revealed
Following the recent announcement of the 2007 DPOTY Awards, Imagine has revealed the judging panel that will be tasked with
finding the best up-and-coming digital photography talent
Digital Photographer magazine today reveals the judging
panel that will decide the winners of the Digital Photographer
of the Year Awards 2007. Heading up the team is Digital
Photographer’s Editor, Debbi Allen: “It’s such an honour to
be involved so heavily with these awards. Through them
we hope to discover the fresh new talent within the world
of digital photography, as well as raise the profile of the
magazine within the industry.”
The panel also boasts Imagine Publishing’s Creative Director
and keen photographer Mark Kendrick, Editor of Digital
Camera Buyer magazine Chris Lean, and professional
photographer and magazine contributor Mark Cargill.
“It is remarkable how many photographers I meet every month through my courses that
have absolutely no idea how good they really are. What they have is raw talent; they are
usually untrained and with no real technical knowledge,” said Cargill. “It is through awards
like these that photographers have an opportunity to find out how good they really are,
and showcase their unique view of the world through the medium of photography.”
The awards, launched in Digital Photographer 59 (on sale 19 July 2007), will kick-start
with calls for entries for the Landscape category. Details of how to enter and closing dates
will be found on the Digital Photographer website (
www.dphotographer.co.uk) or in the
magazine. Categories will include Portrait, Movement, Wildlife, Abstract, Black and White,
Urban and Student, with some categories being web-only entry.
The Digital Photographer of the Year Awards 2007 are supported by Samsung, along
with Kata, Park Cameras and Flash Memory.
