The competition has been divided into three categories as follows:

A 1st, 2nd and 3rd placing will be awarded in each of the three
categories. An overall award (HBYPOTY) will be given to the best portfolio of two or more images. An award will also go to the school of the year.  The over all trophy award will be judged and sponsored by Richard Wood, New Zealand’s Professional Photographer of the Year.
