Taylor Wessing Photographic sponsors this event.

The winners get their work exhibited in the NPG and they also receive a cash prize.

I have signed up for the newsletter emails so that I can enter next year as I had missed the deadline.

Fugi Film Student Award

The Deadline for this is the 31st of March, there is an open brief so any strong image can be entered.

In previous years the brief has been to create a cover for a book, this means understanding the book and understanding photography enough to be able to compose the image so it has negative space for the title and authors name.

The only rule is that the images must be taken using fugi film.

" In addition to being named Fujifilm Student Photographer of the Year 2014 the winner will also be presented with £200 worth of film from Fujifilm, a professionally produced folio of prints and a one-to-one printing/consultancy session with one of Metroprint's top printers. The winner will also be able to select books with a value of £100 from our co-sponsor, Focal Press. " (taken from http://www.fujifilmstudentawards.co.uk/ )

National Geographic

Although this is not a competition as it was mentioned in the lesson I thought I would include it as it provides a great addition to anybody's CV.
