The aim of the RSPCA Young Photographer Awards (YPA) is to encourage young people's interest in photography and show their appreciation and understanding of the animals around them.

For 19 years the RSPCA YPA has been a regular feature in our calendar and it now attracts thousands of entries from young people throughout the United Kingdom. The event has been sponsored and supported by Olympus for the past 17 years and this continued support has enabled the competition to go from strength to strength.

This is the fifth year the awards have been co-sponsored by Olympus and Warners Midlands and the additional sponsorship from Warners has enabled us to produce a stunning calendar showcasing last year's images.

In 2007 we added the pet personalities category which has proved to be an extremely popular category. 

In 2008 we launched the YPA website which enabled entrants to upload their images in a speedy and secure way. We also changed the awards venue to the Tower of London.

In 2009 Matt Baker and Danny Green were added to the judging panel and it was the first year of the people's choice award was launched.

In 2010 David Hosking, Jean Hosking and Gemma Dudley are joining the judging panel and it looks set to be another cracking year!
