Serif invites photographers to enter its digital photography competition

Leif Smith - PhotoPlus 2011 Competition Winner

Creative software developer Serif has today announced a digital photography contest with photography kit worth more than £2,000 up for grabs.

The '2012 PhotoPlus Competition' launches today – in conjunction with National Photography Month – and photography enthusiasts across the world are invited to submit photographs they have captured and improved using Serif’s photo editing software, PhotoPlus.

Gary Bates, Managing Director at Serif, said: “Thousands of photography enthusiasts across the world submitted breathtaking photographs for our 2011 PhotoPlus Competition. This year, we expect to see even more images that have been improved using our photo editing software. Whether people use the intuitive cut-out studio, makeover tools, artistic brushes or layers and masks, we are looking forward to showcasing high quality images by undiscovered and budding photographers.”

Individuals entering the competition – in association with Jessops – will be in with a chance of winning: a Nikon 3200 DSLR with an 18-55 VR Lens, Nikon J1 Compact System Camera Twin Lens Kit (white), a Veho Duopod, Serif software bundle, Photozoom Pro, Fluid Mask, two large format prints, a canvas print, and a subscription to Practical Photography and Digital Photo magazines. The winning and shortlisted photos will be showcased on serif.com* plus every category winner will receive a free copy of PhotoPlus. All entrants will receive a £10 voucher to spend at serif.com, and the first 1,000 entrants can claim a free copy of Practical Photography or Digital Photo.

To take part, photographers can visit www.serif.com/photoplus-competition between 1 June and 31 July, and submit their finished image. The categories for the competition are: HDR, Action, Nature & Wildlife, Portrait, and Landscape & Architecture. Once a shortlist of the 20 category winners has been announced on 15 August, the images will be displayed in an online gallery on serif.com and visitors to the website will be invited to vote for the grand prize winner.

Those who don’t have a copy of PhotoPlus can download the free Starter Edition.
