Better clear a space in your trophy cupboard.  ;)

A sure winner.

Wasn't there some stupid megapixel size restriction for entrants so it could be displayed large scale ?
You needed an SBIG or similar, a DSLR couldn't produce the scale  :-?

So much for amateurs  :-?

This year they say you must ensure:

1) your photo has been taken on a sufficiently high-resolution camera so your image could be displayed in an exhibition. As a guide we may reproduce it at 300dpi at A2 size
2) you have a high-resolution version of your photo available. If you cannot produce an image of sufficient resolution you may not be eligible for the competition shortlist.

They don't mention specific number of megapixels but I hope (!) a DSLR is fine ...
