The results are in for Better Photography Magazine's Photographer of the Year 2009. Unfortunately it doesn't look like I've won it this time but it's not all bad news. The photos I did enter have all been given either silver or bronze awards (see definitions below). The entries are judged by Peter Eastway, Philip Andrews, Nick Rains, Tony Hewitt and Christian Fletcher. These guys are at the top of their game so to be recognised in this manner is a great achievement.

Gold Award - Exhibiting excellence in all areas, with exceptional vision, creativity and innovation
Silver Award - High standard of photographic practice, craft or skill, superior in imagination.
Bronze Award - Very good photographic practice, on the road to achieving a high standard or excellence
