…TO ENTER THE TIMES YOUNG PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR COMPETITION, SPONSORED BY NIKON UK

The countdown has begun for entries to the seventh Times Young Photographer of the Year competition, in association with Nikon UK, which closes on Saturday 10th May 2008.

Also, for the first time, a 12-page colour supplement will be published in June, announcing the winner with their first interview, and showcasing the runner-up entries.

With the six previous winners all having gone on to top jobs in the industry as well as many of the runners up, the benefits of winning such a unique opportunity are immeasurable.
