Photography, inherently a medium reliant on audiences, finds new avenues for growth and recognition through competitions. The recently unveiled international contest, the International BEST Photography Awards, emphasizes that the heart of such competitions isn't merely the prospect of prizes but the unique opportunities they provide.
Awards are announced on May 30 annually. Submissions open on July 1 and close on April 30 annually.
Notably, these opportunities go beyond just accolades. Achieving recognition in a competition can boost a photographer's visibility among influential entities in the industry, such as galleries, journalists, magazine editors, and private collectors.
However, the BEST Photography Awards approaches the competitive sphere with a twist. Contrary to what one might assume from its ambitious title, the word "BEST" in this competition is not just a superlative. Instead, the organizers interpret it as an ethos of self-improvement, emphasizing the journey of becoming the best version of oneself. The overarching message is clear: even without clinching the top spot, participating photographers have embarked on a valuable, enriching journey.
The award's mission is clear-cut: to shine a spotlight on the world's "BEST" photographers and integrate them into the broader creative community. Another noteworthy aspect is the event's commitment to fostering strong ties between photographers and organizations championing photographic arts.
The competition boasts a judging panel comprising seasoned professionals from photography, art, and media, ensuring that every submission receives a balanced evaluation.
Participation falls into two sections: Professional and Amateur photographers. With ten diverse categories spanning from photojournalism to art photography, the contest aims to be inclusive, offering every photographer a fitting category for their work.
The competition welcomes submissions from photographers worldwide. Aspiring participants can apply easily via the official website, which takes minutes.
The BEST Photography Awards presents a platform for photographers seeking victory, growth, visibility, and an enriching experience.
