ImacresIMACRES Awards is delighted to announce that it has begun accepting submissions for the 2022 edition of the European Photography Competition.
Open to all photographers in Europe, the competition, which allows entries to be submitted either in black and white or in colour, presents the opportunity for participants to showcase their work to an international audience. Split into 4 categories of wildlife, landscape, people, and architecture, the winning entries for each category will be awarded gold, silver and bronze badges in the Gallery of Winners, on Social Media and also featured in the IMACRES Awards Annual book.
The first-place winner of each category will win a cash prize valued at 10% of the total entry fee, and will also earn the right to use the winner badge and certificate for promotional purposes.
Speaking on the vision behind the competition, the organisers of IMACRES Awards say they aim to promote healthy competition amongst European photographers, encouraging them to strive for growth and mastery of their art and also rewarding their efforts and excellence.
