Nikon has decided to give a final call for entries for the company’s image competition called Nikon Photo Contest.

The Japan-based camera manufacturer has been holding a photography competition since 1969. A lot of photographers are holding this contest in high-esteem and they are including it on the “not to be missed” photo competition list. The 2012-2013 edition opened its entries last year on December 1st.

This is the Grand Prize Winner of the Nikon Photo Contest 2010-2011. An amazing image taken by Debarshi Duttagupta and called “Learning to fly”.
