The "High Point Photo of the Year" awards category
|
|
The High Point Photo of the Year award category is our way of acknowledging the achievements of Ireland's finest amateur landscape photographers.
To be considered for a High Point Photo of the Year award, a photo needs to have been the winner in one of the four High Point Ireland Photo competitions held on Twitter during that year. In December, those four winning photos will face a final round of voting on Twitter which will identify that year's High Point Photo of the Year. |
There are three awards available in this category:
The High Point Photo of the Year awards competition is only open to amateur photographers who have a Twitter account.
- Gold Award: the photo with most "likes" in the final vote.
- Silver Award: the photo with second most "likes" in the final vote.
- Bronze Award: the photo with third most "likes" in the final vote.
The High Point Photo of the Year awards competition is only open to amateur photographers who have a Twitter account.

- At midnight at the start of 26th December, we will tweet the URL of each of the four winning photo's original tweets from that year.
- We will also "like" each of the four tweets we post for the duration of the final voting period.

- The four shortlisted entries will appear exclusively in our Twitter likes during the final voting period. Please vote for your favourite by giving it a "like". In the final round of voting, the official entry is tweeted by @HiPointIreland, not the original tweeter.

Winner selection
- The photo with the most "likes" in the final vote receives the Gold Award, the photo with the second most receives Silver, and the photo with the third most receives Bronze.
- In the event of a draw, the entry in joint 1st position which receives the largest number of retweets will be the winner. If there is still no outright winner, the voting period will be extended by one full day at a time for the joint 1st place entries only until there is an outright winner.
