when a panel of independent judges will select a shortlist of entries.

Chris Hoare, Professional Business Manager at Nikon UK says: "Nikon is
still very keen to support the student end of the market, which is echoed
in our work with the Academy colleges on projects such as the Discovery
Awards."
Simon Bainbridge, Editor of BJP adds: ""We
were delighted with the high standard of work we saw last year and the
positive response to the competition. Now, with extra colleges added to
the Nikon Academy of colleges, we look forward to establishing the Discovery
Awards as the premier contest for student photographers."
