Nikon Photo Contest International 2008-2009.

Nikon Photo Contest International 2008 2009.

Nikon Europe today announced the opening date for the Nikon Photo Contest International 2008-2009. This year is the 32nd edition of the hugely-popular contest that last time attracted over 16,000 entrants from 135 different countries and the submission of more than 47,000 images.

Entries for the competition will be accepted from 1 September to 30 November 2008. The theme for the competition is At the Heart of the Image, which is also the brand statement of the Nikon Imaging Company. With this theme, Nikon challenges photographers to capture in an image what stirs their passion, demonstrating the richness and human diversity of life.

As in previous competitions, there will be two categories. In the first ‘Free Subject’ category, photographers can submit any image that ignites from their imagination. The second category is called My Planet, encouraging people to enter submissions that involve the environment, or scenes from daily life.


Professional photographers from around the world will judge all entries. Celebrating the 75th anniversary of the NIKKOR brand, there will be an extra prize awarded to an outstanding entry, next to the 54 regular prizes and the Grand Winner. The competition is open to all who love taking pictures – amateurs, as well as professional photographers – from any part of the world. The winning photographs and the names of the winners will be published on the NPCI website, at NPCI exhibitions and through a press release.

With the NPCI 2008-2009, Nikon Europe continues to support the international humanitarian organisation “Right to Play”, by donating 2 Euros for each participant from Europe and Africa. “Right to Play” aims to develop life skills, improve health and foster peace for disadvantaged children, by means of sports and play programmes.

Martina Beckmann, Manager Communications and Marketing Services at Nikon Europe B.V.: “With NPCI, Nikon wants to stimulate people around the world to discover the joy of photography, letting them and others experience the communicative power of images. We are convinced that all contestants will again rise to the exciting challenge. This year, we hope that even more photographers will take part, for the sake of the competition, and at the same time supporting our contribution to “Right to Play’s” great cause.
