33rd Nikon Photo Contest calls for entries

Hiroshi Takashina, MD, Nikon said: "India is a photographer's delight. The people, subjects, colours, environment, issues, social weave and weather, you have a variety of subjects. Added to this, there's a sea of hardcore photographers and photography lovers, be it in the amateur or the professional space. I am sure, like last year, there's going to be an Indian among the 33rd Nikon Photo Contest International 2010-2011 winners."

The NCPI 2010-11 is being held in two categories -- Category A for 'Free Subjects' and Category B for 'Energy'. Photographers can opt for subjects of their choice to enter Category A, while Category B invites work that capture the energy of sights and subjects that inspire, motivate or excite the contestant or the viewers.

The contest will also be judged by well-known names in the photography world across the world. There are 53 awards to be given away, which includes a Grand Prize, 16 First, Second and Third prizes, four Emerging.
