Vogue magazine calls the IPPAWARDS the “Oscars of mobile photography.” For the past 17 years, the iPhone Photography Awards has been accepting submissions from iPhone and iPad photographers worldwide.
The only condition is that the photos have not been previously published (not including personal social media accounts, like Facebook), and cannot be altered in Photoshop or any other image editing app. The categories include abstract, animals, architecture, children, city life/cityscape, landscape, lifestyle, nature, people, portrait, and series (three images: still life, travel, and other).
All photographers compete for four IPPAWARDS — Grand Prize, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Entry fees start at $5.50 per image. If you think you’re sitting on an amazing photo, it could be worth it. The first place winner of each category receives a gold bar from the most recognizable private gold mint in the world. The second and third place winners of each category win a platinum bar from the most recognizable private gold mint in the world.
