I have forged some of the BEST relationships with people I have met during an awards process. Get ready to create a new hub of people that believe in you and love you.
Beginner Friendly
If you have never entered an award before this is the place to start. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Even if you didn’t submit, you can watch the live judging free and come away knowing exactly what you can do to improve your images and make them even better. This leaves you more confident and inspired to try new things.
ONE Image Is Judged At A Time
No more having judges look at hundreds of entries and picking their fave based on the others. This is designed to SEE the artist that is in front of judges. We are basing our feedback on what is in front of us, not what it should have been or could have been.
Judging Diversity
The team has curated a team of judges that represent diversity and give unbiased feedback. Our panel at all times will consist of judges from all different views, walks of life, and experience. This awards was created to discover new talented artists. (pssst that’s you!)
We understand that sometimes photographers can be die-hards with their training, so a challenge system is in place to help bring us back to earth to remind us that sometimes the moment is worth more than the technical skill. Diversity and unbiased opinions are important to use to ensure fair judging.
