Thinking Small with Nikon
Nikon's photomicrography competition has been running for 30 years. The images are surprising, as they're all pictures of the world as seen through microscopes. Even the odd can be intriguing, as in this
antique slide showing a thin section of diseased ivory. The next round of submissions end April 30, 2008, in case you want to dig out your microscope.

BBC Cancels Photo Challenge
The BBC has been dealing with a scandal about six shows that had staged phone-in calls and pretended that they came from regular people, not insiders. So the organization has decided to
cancel all competitions that it was running. Unfortunately, that includes the
annual photo challenge. Ah, well, maybe next year.

BBC Photographer of the Year Contest
The BBC has an annual contest for photography with no entry fee. There are specific themes and they're looking for things beyond the obvious. The first category competition is over, but the next - Hidden - has an entry date of July 22. You can enter up to three images per category. BBC staff pick a dozen images and then put them up to the Web for popular vote. The two most popular from each category go on to a final competition for a Nikon D40X, with an extra prize for the image that most catches their eyes. Details are
here.
