FPOTY Prize
Canon A2 printer worth £1000 (Pro-1000 or similar)
Fotospeed inkjet paper worth £500
A day of bespoke one-to-one tutoring. Photographer to be confirmed.
We work with some amazing companies and this year we are pleased to announce that Canon have offered one of their A2 printers as part of the FPOTY prize fund. We can not thank them enough for their generosity and support.
We have been running three Canon wide format printers for the last four years and have always been blown away with not only the quality of the prints but the quality of the machines themselves.
In 2016 we became a Canon registered partner for their wide format printers. If you have any questions regarding Canon printers please contact one of the Fotospeed team.
What an amazing and unique prize to win.

Top Four

It was love at first site at the Fotospeed HQ. Such a beautiful painterly effect from @Groomsickle. We love the tones and wonderful colour palette, a fantastically processed stand out image. |
 |
Clever composition from @danportch, it’s so different. Great framing, well thought subject and nice light through the square to the subject. |
 |
This image screams Gotham City, it really is like a scene from the latest Batman epic and @Jay_B_Photos has captured the mood and essence of a powerful cityscape. We love the composition, contrast in the sky and haze over the city indicating a downpour of rain. |
 |
Dark, atmospheric and moody are the adjectives that spring to mind when looking at this powerful image from @Nickgreen01Nick. The use of long exposure has given the water in the foreground and over the rocks a misty ethereal quality. A wonderful composition with a nice central focal point. The tones really add to the ambience of the image. |
Weekly Winner
It was unanimous in the office that this image was the winner, its such a stand out original image and takes us back to our childhood with thoughts of Alice In Wonderland. We have decided to print it on Platinum Etching, the textured surface of this paper will accentuate the fine detail and the white point will allow the colours of the the flamigo to shine.
Every week we will now be doing 15% off our paper of choice, you can purchase Platinum Etching here and enter code FSPE15 at checkout to get your 15% off.
Congratulations Ashley
