What Is a Photo Award

A photo award is a form of photography contest where photographers from around the world submit their best work for professional evaluation and international ranking.

All Photo Contests

How a Photography Contest Works

Participants upload photos to themed categories throughout the year. A preliminary voting stage helps evaluate photo quality.

The main voting takes place in March and consists of three stages. At each stage, fewer works remain, while the jury may move photos between stages.

Voting is anonymous, and every stage includes quality review.

Contest Categories

Transparent Photo Scoring System

In 35AWARDS you see photo scores at every stage, not only final results. This is rare among photography contests where only final positions are shown.

How Scoring Works

A Photography Contest as a Marathon

Participation becomes a yearly marathon where photographers compare their results with previous years and grow creatively.

Themed Photography Contests Year-Round

In addition to the main annual photo award, 35AWARDS regularly hosts themed photography contests focused on a single subject or genre.

Current Contests

Fast Results and Narrow Focus

Themed contests allow photographers to concentrate on a specific idea, and the results are announced much faster than in the main award. This format is ideal for experimentation and creative growth.

All Themed Contests

Photographer Rankings by Genre and Country

Each award generates rankings by genre, city and country, as well as an overall photographer ranking based on top three works.
