People's Vote Award

Worldwide Exposure for All Nominated Images

One of our primary missions as an artist-first community is to ensure that your photography gets the exposure it deserves. That’s why all nominated entries are automatically entered into the People’s Vote Awards in addition to our juried awards.

During the People’s Vote Awards, the public is invited to be inspired by your work while supporting it by voting for their favorite images within each contest category.

This unique honor is one of the many ways we aim to increase the chances of our artists like you being discovered and receiving well-deserved recognition.

Testimonials

“Receiving this honor further bolstered my credibility and boosted my confidence. It has had a hugely positive impact on both a personal and professional level and is a great calling card. This award led to two print publications as well as many digital ones. It’s also opened and continues to open doors and unlock new opportunities within the industry - including not so long ago being able to get my work featured on a website I really wanted to partner with.”

“Winning gave me something that I think is more valuable in the long run than a job or press coverage. And that was appreciating my work and giving me self-confidence in my work while motivating me to create and experiment.”
