VANCOUVER, Feb. 26, 2015 /CNW/ - This is a time of incredible consequence, and the extraordinary images captured by Canada's photojournalists continue to elevate the quality of our news coverage and uphold the level of public trust placed in the men and women who reflect our complex world through the lens of a camera. Armed with cameras and years of experience and training, today's photojournalists are using the power of photography to tell fuller, richer stories about our communities and the people within them.

It is in that spirit that the News Photographers Association of Canada (NPAC) is pleased to recognize the excellence represented in submissions by 122 of Canada's outstanding photojournalists in announcing the nominations in the eighth annual National Pictures of the Year (NPOY) awards competition.

More than 2,000 images from across Canada were entered in this year's competition, representing a spectacular body of work. Images were submitted and judged in 14 different categories, including Canadian Photojournalist of the Year and Canadian Photograph of the Year.

 All images and videos can be viewed by visiting the News Photographers Association of Canada's website at www.npac.ca. 

The winners will be announced during the NPAC's National Pictures of the Year Gala event, which will take place May 9th, 2015 in Vancouver. 

The 2014 Canadian Photojournalist of the Year and 2014 Canadian Photograph of the Year will each be awarded a $2000.00 top prize (Sponsored by The Canadian Press and The Globe and Mail, respectively). Other category winners will be awarded $500.00 for First Place, $200.00 for Second Place and $100.00 for Third Place. NPOY and category sponsor Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) are pleased to award a prize of $1000.00 to the top portfolio of images by a student. Students wishing to enter can do so until April 15th at www.npac.ca.

About the National Pictures Of The Year Awards:

The National Pictures Of The Year awards competition was created by NPAC to recognize excellence in Canadian photojournalism. NPAC is a volunteer-run, non-profit association comprised of  professional and student photojournalists in Canada and they champion quality and ethical photography in journalism.
