APOY 2026 Opens May 5 with £24,000 in Prizes

APOY is the UK's longest-running amateur competition and it's open worldwide, so if you've got a hobbyist shooter in your orbit who's been sitting on strong street work, May 5 is their entry point. Round prizes include DxO PhotoLab 8 and FilmPack 7 alongside Park Cameras vouchers — solid software for anyone still building a post-processing toolkit. Not relevant to working pros, but worth flagging to camera club members or emerging shooters you're mentoring.
