Only open to photo sector retail workers, the 2016 Pixel Photography Competition is split into five categories: Landscape; Portrait/Fashion; Wildlife; Street; and Monochrome (for the opening dates in each category, see below).
Winners will be invited to collect their prizes at the annual Pixel Trade Awards ceremony in London on 2 December 2016.
Pixel Magazine editor Simon Skinner said: ‘After more than a decade presenting the UK photographic industry awards, we are hugely excited to be extending the format to include the people who really matter.
‘Counter staff are the lifeblood of our sector and their knowledge, passion and expertise are what makes the difference between selling product or not.’
Details of the prizes are yet to be announced.
Judges will include photographer and filmmaker Clive Booth.
