This is a unique opportunity for photography students. Each year, shots publishes a substantial Directory - a major resource for international brands and the creative industries that serve them. It is bought, and used all year by creative directors and art buyers worldwide. Further sponsors and prizes may be added during the course of the competition.

Up to 60 finalists will be chosen from the competition entry; and from those finalists, nine outstanding submissions, including three runners-up and an overall winner, will be announced in November 2008. All finalists will be given space in the Directory to present their work along with contact details. The winning entry will feature on the cover. All finalists' work will feature in an online exhibition when the shots 2009 Directory is published in December 2008.

All images will be submitted digitally by uploading to the shots site (details to follow). Images may be color or b/w. The 60 shortlisted entrants will be asked after the submission deadline to submit high-res versions, on which final judging will be based. Only previously unpublished work will be considered. The competition is open to all current photography students. The closing date for entries is Friday 11 July 2008.
