The key sponsor for the 2012 Awards is Metroprint, the online arm of Metro the long-standing London pro-lab. Metroprint will provide the overall winner with a professionally produced portfolio together with a 12 month course of mentoring. Other prizes include £200 worth of Fujifilm film, a Trophy and the title ‘Fujifilm Student Photographer of the Year 2012’. Up to 30 Merit runner-up winners will each receive 10 rolls of Fujifilm film and the college that supplies the most entries will collect a certificate and £200 worth of Fujifilm film.

One purpose of the Awards is to promote the benefits of shooting on film with students being encouraged to experiment with different emulsions - traditional black and white, black & white CN (C41 process), colour negative and colour transparency - to achieve different results.
