Enter Awards
“ It is always nice to receive recognition for your work. Especially in such a big photo contest like IAA Photography Awards. ”
~ Alex Pansier, Internet Entrepreneur, Netherlands
“ This recognition is absolutely mind blowing for a 66 year old retiree! I couldn't wait to post this on all of my social media platforms. ”
~ Karen Bailey, Photographer, United States
“ It is such a wonderful surprise especially given how many categories and entrants there must have been. To be selected for a Gold Award is such a compliment. I am truly delighted. Thank you. ”
~ Sarah Morton, Photographer, United Kingdom
“ I am very happy to be part of this beautiful group of talented photographer and I hope to meet them and the organizator in an event future. ”
~ Nicoletta Cerasomma, Fine Art Photographer, Italy
“ When I decided to participate my first thought was "I'll be able to create something more artistic and prove to myself that I'm capable". And winning the prize at the end will make me look at the statue and remember the project I created myself and how I managed to reach the final and still win and never give up on anything. ”
~ Carina Silva, Freelancer, Ireland
“ It is gratifying, while at the same time, being motivational, to not be construed as a "mark of significance" or "arrival" but an indicator that Landscapes can and do capture and engage many viewers. Recognition by your peers and critics can be a danger to be kept at arms distance - kept as neither too wonderful nor too disappointing. ”
~ Ron Hallam, Photographer, Canada
“ This is truly incredible!!! My heart skipped a beat when I received the incredible news. It always means something so special when your work gets recognition in such a beautiful way. My awards get both a special place in my heart as in the photo studio, where they all are on display. It gives a sense of satisfaction that all the work you put with your heart and soul into your photography means something to the world as well. ”
~ Raïs De Weirdt, Portrait & Wedding Photographer, Belgium
