Prize haul

We take a closer look at some of the winning entries from Fotoholics Photographer of the Year 2019, which is now available to buy as a book

In October 2019, the winners of the Fotoholics Photographer of the Year Competition were announced at HipFest in Hull. The competition featured four adult categories (Street, Landscape, Black and White and an overall winner), while the Young Fotoholics Photographer or the Year winner – Daisy Blythe – can be seen on page 38 in a special One To Watch interview.

The competition, which is organised by the Fotoholics team, had three experienced judges – Matt Hart, the founder of Fotoholics, Kevin Mullins, the noted wedding photographer, and our own Amy Davies, Amateur Photographer’s Features Editor.

Early days

It was only the competition’s second year in 2019, but it still attracted entries from a wide range of photographers across many genres and styles. The competition was judged blind (whereby the judges don’t know who has taken the images), and with a very high standard, it was an extremely tough job to narrow down the entries to the four overall adult winners, and the young winner.
