According to our recent reader survey, landscape photography is by far
the most popular genre, so what better way to kick off the APOY 2020
year? The brief here is purposefully loose, as we’re keen to see as many
different interpretations of ‘landscape’ as possible.
We’re happy to receive anything which might be considered
‘landscape’ – from architecture to grand mountain vistas.
The possibilities truly are endless – don’t be afraid to be abstract in
your approach either. Last year’s winner was far from a ‘classical’ scene,
whichis exactlywhyit caughtoureye.
