BEST PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS.

There are many photo contests in the world of photography. Many of them have a specific theme, others include many categories.

Participation in competitions provides new and unique opportunities for photographers. At its core, photography cannot exist without an audience. It is very difficult for photographers to grow if they do not receive feedback.

It is a big mistake to think that photographers need to participate in competitions only for the sake of prizes. The most valuable thing a photographer gets is popularity and the opportunity to expand their audience of viewers and fans. Competition results are often viewed by galleries, journalists, magazine editors and private collectors, so it's important to maintain your own visibility at international events.

Today we want to talk about a new international photography competition – Best Photography Awards ; www.bestphotographyawards.com

Some ambition is immediately felt in the title, but the organizers look at the words BEST from a completely different angle. This word is seen as a philosophy of improving and learning something new and, first of all, being the best for yourself. Even if the photographer did not win the main prize, this is not a reason to stop and give up, this is just the beginning of an exciting journey!

The mission of BEST PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS is to recognize, reward and present talented, BEST photographers from around the world and introduce them to the creative community.

The organizers pay special attention to promoting and establishing relationships with both photographers and organizations that are ready to support the art of photography.

The panel of judges includes real professionals in the field of photography, art and media. This will allow each author to receive an objective assessment.

The Best Photography Awards competition offers two sections for participation: Professional photographers and Amateur photographers. Each section has 9 different categories ranging from photojournalism to art photography. Almost any photographer will be able to find the right category for himself to participate.

The open call has already started, which means that photographers from all over the world are starting to send their best photos to participate. Applying on the official website is very simple and will take you 5-10 minutes.

More information can be found on the FAQ page.

We wish good luck to the participants of the competition.
