Photographer of the Year 2007

Following the BBC's decision to suspend all competitions we regret to say we are calling a halt to our annual photo challenge on the BBC News website.

The BBC's Director General Mark Thompson announced that all phone-related, interactive and online competitions were being suspended following concern over a series of editorial breaches in various parts of the BBC.

Thank you to everyone who has submitted pictures so far and we apologise for the fact that we will be unable to show them on the website.
