Nikon (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd  is pleased to announce that entries for the Nikon Photo Contest 2016-2017 will be accepted between October 17, 2016 and 12noon (Malaysia time) on January 27, 2017. 

The Nikon Photo Contest has been one of the world's largest global photo contests since it was first held in 1969. The objective behind the contest is to nurture an aspirational community that supports photographers and filmmakers who wish to share important stories and influence the way people think through images.

The first new category, the Nikon 100th Anniversary category has been added to commemorate Nikon's celebration of its 100th anniversary in 2017. The Next Generation category, the other new category, open to those under the age of 30, has been added in response to the fact that roughly half of the entries in the previous contest were captured or recorded by those under the age of 30.

In addition, Nikon is proud to share world-renowned graphic designer and art director, Neville Brody, as the Lead Judge for this contest. With his appointment as Lead Judge, Brody also redesigned the Nikon Photo Contest logo. 

Awards and prizes

One entry each will be selected from all entries to receive the Nikon 100th Anniversary Prize, the Grand Prize, and the Award for the Most Popular Entry. In addition, a total of 63 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes will be awarded to entries in each of the Nikon 100th Anniversary, Next Generation, and Open categories, and winners will be presented with Nikon products of varying value.

In addition, all winners will be exhibited on the Nikon Photo Contest 2016-2017 Web Gallery, and on official Facebook and Instagram pages. We are also planning exhibitions at venues managed by Nikon, including the Nikon Museum. The following prizes will be awarded:
