International Photography Awards: stunning winning images of IPA 21st edition
The International Photography Awards (IPA) is delighted to announce the winners of its highly anticipated international photography competition. In its twenty-first edition, the competition saw tens of thousands of entries in both the Professional and Non-Professional categories. After rigorous evaluation by an international panel of esteemed judges, these exceptional photographers have been selected for their outstanding contributions to the world of visual storytelling.
This year’s competition drew an impressive array of talent from across the globe, with entries spanning diverse categories, including editorial, landscapes, portraits, wildlife, and abstract. The competition’s commitment to celebrating creativity, technical excellence, and compelling storytelling was evident in the quality of submissions received. The work of the winners captivated the judges and stood out among the submissions, demonstrating a profound commitment to the art of photography.
Emanuele Cucuzza, Founder of Image in Progress and IPA jury member, commented:
“I really feel honoured to be part of the jury panel of such a great contest, always open to an evolving context. This year I’ve found also many more complex and interesting projects than the past years. These are definitely my favourites since technique, knowledge and creativity are not enough without a vision, without photography culture, without consistency. I believe this year’s winners to be true story tellers with new points of view, and with a personal and recognisable style.”
Winners were selected in the following categories: Advertising, Analog, Architecture, Book, Editorial, Event, Fine Art, Nature, Sport, People, and Special Photography. These artists demonstrated unparalleled creativity and skill within their chosen genres.
Mr. Hossein Farmani, Founder of the competition, expressed his excitement:
“We are consistently impressed by the quality and diversity of the work we review each year, with submissions continually surpassing expectations and representing talent from countries all around the world. We deeply appreciate the dedication of our jury, who face the challenging task of selecting a small group of winners from a field of entries that all deserve recognition.”
The prestigious Photographer of the Year and Discovery of the Year titles will be presented during the IPA Awards Ceremony in Athens, Greece, as a highlight of the IPA “Foto Fiesta”. From November 21st to 23rd, this celebratory weekend will feature not only the awards ceremony but also an array of exciting photography events. Photographer of the Year and Discovery of the Year winners will be honored for their exceptional work alongside other category winners, whose images will be showcased at the IPA Annual Best of Show Exhibition. This event-packed weekend will bring together industry leaders and photography enthusiasts to celebrate the power of visual storytelling. The winning photographs will also gain international exposure, enabling enthusiasts and professionals worldwide to appreciate these outstanding works of art.
