The Irish Times Amateur Photographer of the Year Awards seeks to recognise and reward great work by passionate, non-professional photographers throughout Ireland and beyond. We have two main prizes of €1,000 each for the photographer of the year and photograph of the year.

This year, thanks to Bermingham Cameras, we will also have a voucher for €500 of camera equipment for a lucky reader who helps choose the People’s Choice Prize, a new award to be chosen by readers’ vote in early June.
The competition is open to all our readers, including the serious hobbyist, “art photographers”, photography and art-college students, and casual snappers. 

The main awards will be judged by a panel including: Brenda Fitzsimons of this newspaper; Ángel Luis González, founder and director of the PhotoIreland Festival;Tanya Kiang, director of the Gallery of Photography; John Duncan, an editor at Sourcemagazine; Barry McCall, one of the top fashion and commercial photographers in the country; Amaia Arenzana, winner of the 2012 main award; Des Clinton, a fellow of the Royal Photographic Society; Danny McCaughan, also a fellow of the Royal Photographic Society; and Michael O'Sullivan, current president of the Irish Photographic Federation.
