The 2016 competition

The 2016 POTY competition is the fourth running of what now appears to be a permanent fixture on the PWMN calendar. Our two main sponsors (LAT Photographic and Peter James Insurance Services) have continued to offer support for which we heartily thank them. This year LAT are taking a more active role in that they have also agreed to adjudicate the competition, a rule change from previous years which was suggested by members of the website’s forum.

The LAT judging panel will consist of a team of three from their photographic archive headed up by the archive’s curator, all of whom examine automotive images as part of their daily routine. It’s therefore safe to say that they are experts! Not that this should dissuade you from entering, as without your entries the competition wouldn’t exist. There are one or two other minor changes which are detailed in the Competition Rules section to be found below.

the-lat-trophy-bThroughout the year many superb photographs are posted to the website’s Forum and submitted to the editor and can be seen on the site’s homepage and in the image galleries elsewhere. Please take a look at these galleries and the archive pages where literally hundreds of photographs of our cars reside and be inspired to go out and photograph your Minor, M Type or Hornet – they will definitely gain exposure on the website and who knows, some may even end up in the gallery on this page.
