The winners of the 7th Fine Art Photography Awards present a surreal assortment of shots from sci-fi styled snaps of subways to spectacularly sublime landscapes. We’ve handpicked our highlights from this year’s massive collection of celebrated images.
Founded in 2014, the Fine Art Photography Awards is an exceptionally broad photo contest. Spanning 20 categories, each with separate Professional and Amateur sections, this is a big and diverse competition with no real overarching thread other than celebrating creativity and innovation.
Nominee, Landscape, Amateur. 'Geothermal Weather', IcelandCraig McGowan Recalling prior years, the 7th annual contest again reveals its strongest images through a deeper dive into the shortlisted category entries. These categories cover all bases: Nature, Wildlife/Animals, Architecture, Fashion, Travel, Portrait, Cityscape, Street Photography, Night Photography, Landscape, and plenty more.
Gold, Photojournalism, Professional. 'Time of Coronavirus', WuhanAly Song Like many photography competitions at the moment, many of the entries reflect the ongoing global pandemic. Some of those entries simply highlight how strange our urban environments are when stripped of large crowds, while others present creative takes on pandemic life, such as Connor Young’s shot of a lone giraffe at a zoo in Vienna seemingly wondering where all the people have gone.

Those are cool, but nowhere near as good as the shots that are “screen saver” photos on Windows and on my LG smart TV.
There is truly some amazing stuff out there.
This just made me remember, with great sadness, yesterday’s story about the elephant smooshing a poacher in Africa.
What kind of world is it we live in where an elephant can smoosh a poacher and there’s no one there to take a photo for me?
That last photo is the tallest Dashhound I’ve ever seen.
Meh! So now the average is the best!? Did everyone get a participation award? (Love animals)

Well, art is subjective. :)
