Organizers of the Picture of the Year International competition have put out a call for entries for their 68th annual competition. The contest has categories for documentary photography, multimedia, and visual editing.

The registration and entry deadline is Friday, February 14, 2011.

New for this year’s contest will be a “Multimedia Portfolio of the Year” award. The winner of the award will receive a $1,000 cash prize. The contest will also include themed categories specifically for entries related to the earthquake in Haiti, the BP oil spill, the midterm elections in the US, and the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

Organizers say they have also streamlined the entry process to make it easier for contestants to prepare and upload their work.

Entry details and contest rules can be found at the POYi web site.
