It’s time for Pop Photo’s Third Annual Photographer of the Year Shoot-Out, your chance to earn fame (”The Best Shooter on the Planet”) and fortune ($5,000), and to show the world just how good you really are.

In years past, there were several rounds of competition leading to a weeklong three-photographer Shoot-Out on the streets of New York. But this year’s event is quite different. The Shoot-Out will be conducted on PopPhoto.com with everything from the assignments to the entries handled online.

Here’s how it works:

• Every entrant must post four photographs — a portrait, landscape, product, and action shot — at http://shootout2007.popphoto.com/ by 9 a.m., ET, July 6. Get those four shots in, and you’re eligible to take part in the July 16-19 Shoot-Out.
• On Monday, July 16, an assignment will be posted in the morning. You will have until the next morning to post your shots from that assignment.
• Tuesday morning, July 17, a new assignment will be detailed on the Shoot-Out website.
• Wednesday morning, July 18, another assignment.
• Each assignment will be posted at 9 a.m., ET, and each must be completed and posted on our website by 8 a.m., ET, the next morning.
