The results of this season’s Photographer of the Year competition are announced...
In what turned out to be a very close finish to this season’s POTY competition just one-point separated the top four photographers after the five rounds had been concluded.
Congratulations to Neil Hall who retains the trophy he won last year with an aggregate total of 74 points for his best four rounds just half a point ahead of Gary Hagg with 73.5 points with both Nick Lewis and Maurice Young equal on 73 points. Nick, however, took third place on count-back with Maurice fourth overall.
The result means that all the first four photographers scored an average of more than 9 points out of a possible 10 for all the eight images that counted towards their final total in the competition.
These are the eight images that counted towards Neil’s total score in the competition:
