Isle of Wight Photographer of the Year 2009 is now well underway with the themes for this year’s competition ‘It’s a Small World’ forming the main category and ‘It’s a Very Small World - Go Wild on Wight’ - the second, both already generating lots of great images.

Three winning entries will be selected in November 2009 from both categories. There are some great wildlife-themed prizes up for grabs in ‘It’s a Very Small World - Go Wild on Wight’ kindly donated by the National Trust and Gift to Nature.

Shortlisted entries will embark on a travelling exhibition in 2010 and you will be able to enjoy the photographs at various locations including Island public libraries, Newport Minster Church and the Old Town Hall at Newtown.
