CATALOGUE 10TH 35AWARDS
BEST PHOTOS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS
The catalog contains more than 1500 photos from 25 nominations from more than 1000 authors of the 10th 35AWARDS
Participation in 35AWARDS is not only a chance to become a winner. After the contest, each participant can understand where their works stand among photos by other authors and how highly they were rated.
35AWARDS uses several levels of results for this: from individual photo evaluation to international, national and thematic ratings.
More about how results are calculated
If this is your first time, start with the short guide
During the contest, photos pass through several selection stages and are compared with works by other participants.
Afterwards, you can see the result of each of your photos: how far it went and what place it took relative to other works in its nomination.
This makes it possible to evaluate participation beyond a simple “won or did not win” result.
Even if a photo does not become a winner, a high result shows that it was among a small share of the best works in the contest.
35AWARDS evaluates not only individual photos, but also the author’s overall result.
The participant’s best works form the final result. This allows you to compare yourself with other photographers, not only compare separate images.
After the annual award, photographer ratings are formed.
35AWARDS results let you see your position not only among all participants worldwide.
Photographers also receive ratings by country and city.
The result can therefore be viewed on several levels:
among participants in your nomination → among photographers in your country → in your city → among 35AWARDS participants overall.
For many participants this is a more useful reference point than only reaching the absolute global TOP.
For significant participation results, personal diplomas and other materials confirming a photographer’s achievement in the contest are available.
They can be used in a portfolio, on a personal website, in social networks, or when presenting work to clients and the professional community.
The exact type of available diploma depends on the result and the contest.
The best photos are published in final contest selections and on 35AWARDS results pages.
This means the work continues to receive views after voting has ended.
The main result of the annual award is the selection of the 100 best photos and 100 best photographers of the year.
This is the peak of the 35AWARDS selection system, but not the only meaningful result of participation.
Before the final TOP 100, there are many intermediate results that help you understand the level of your photos relative to thousands of other participants.
Based on the annual award results, the best works are published in the official 35AWARDS catalogue.
It includes not only individual winners, but also a large selection of the year’s highest-rated photos and authors.
The catalogue preserves the award results as a separate publication and presents the best works to an international audience.
One of the main goals of 35AWARDS is to give photographers a way to compare their works with a large number of photos by other authors.
One photo may show a high result, while another may be much lower. Several years of participation make it possible to see how an author’s work changes and which genres become strongest.
Participation results are therefore not only about winning.
They are an opportunity to get an independent reference point, see where your photos stand among other works, and understand which of them truly stand out.
