    Amateur Photographer opens Inaugural Film Photographer of the Year competition for UK residents.

    The UK’s biggest-selling photography magazine is now taking free entries to their first analogue-centric competition, sponsored by Kodak, Analogue Wonderland, and Ricoh Imaging.

    Deadline: 5th January 2025, 11:59 pm GMT.

    Submission: 5 images shot on film in 2024 (some editing allowed).

    Prizes: the winner will get a brand new Pentax 17 film camera, a year’s supply of Kodak film (I’m curious to see what they consider a year’s supply, given that we all shoot at different rates), a year’s supply of film developing and scanning with the Analogue Wonderland lab, and a limited edition Pentax t-shirt and baseball cap. There will also be two runner-ups with smaller prizes.

    Another chance to get free gear and film is great news for everyone in the UK.

    For everyone else, this can be read as a sign of the continuing growth of analogue photography’s popularity — an offline craft advanced by the extremely online generation of photographers. Film has been in resurgence for over a decade — almost immediately after crashing in the early 2020s — yet I don’t think its new popularity has peaked.

    What do you think?
