Just a quick note to let everyone know that the Isle of Wight Photographer of the Year (IWPOY) Exhibition at the Quay Arts will be closing on May 23rd.

Over 100 people packed into the Cafe for the Isle of Wight Photographer of the Year Awards at the Quay Arts.
We were very grateful to Isle of Wight Council Chairman Cllr Ian Stephens (pictured) for presenting the Awards, although admitting he knew very little about photography and that his own attempts in snapping away left a lot to be desired, he really appreciated the invite.
We were humbled when Cllr Stephens congratulated the efforts of the IWPOY and IWDIG ethos in bringing photography to a mass audience on the Island. Anyone who is able to succesfully focus community attention and sustain interest in any subject 50 weeks a year is to be applauded.
The long wait is almost over , as the winners of the Isle of Wight Photographer of the Year Awards 2010 will be announced early next month. Whilst the judges made their selections of 40 shortlisted entries in February the top three winners will be kept under wraps and revealed at the launch of the annual IWPOY ‘Wall of Fame’ Exhibition in the Quay Arts on 7th April.

Now in its 5th year and building on the success of previous Isle of Wight Photographer of the Year Awards.
The island-wide photography competition themed ‘Elements – earth, wind, fire, and water’ offered photographers, of all abilities, a great subject to capture and entries were as expected of a very high standard.
All images from the IWPOY shortlist 2010, along with a selection of Young Photographers submissions, will now be showcased as part of the annual Isle of Wight Photographer of the Year Exhibition on the Cafe ‘Wall Of Fame’ from 7th April – 23rd May 2011 in the Quay Arts, Newport. Read more

The IWPOY is the largest photography competition on the Isle of Wight and is open to all amateur or professional photographers that reside on the Island.
Entry into the competition is FREE! There are presently two categories to choose from, which we feel cover all bases of photographic genre. The main IWPOY category open to all is Earth Wind Fire and Water and this year we launch the Isle of Wight Young Photographer of the Year My Life, My Island for under 16 yrs.
We have some new and exciting plans in the pipeline for later this year; details are under wraps but watch this space.
