Photographers are being given a last chance to win £2,000 at this year's Commonwealth Photographic Awards, with the deadline for entries now extended to June 18.

The contest is open to everyone from professional lensmen to amateur snappers living within the Commonwealth, and this year's theme is 'Youth'.

Entries will be judged on technical quality and interpretation of the theme, and as well as £2,000 for the overall prize-winner there will be cash prizes for regional winners.

There are also two special prizes this year - 'The Young Snappers Prize' for 12 to 18 year olds, and the 'Dan Eldon Prize' which will be awarded to an 18 to 30 year old who uses his or her work for social or humanitarian purposes.

The winning photographs will be exhibited in Central London and other Commonwealth cities.
