There are numerous photography competitions held each year that give people with a passion and a camera a chance to display their talents. Some of these competitions, like the Ocean Art Photography competition, give you an in-depth look into the hair-raising world of nature. The Fine Art Photography Awards, however, is every photographer's dream, offering a wide variety of categories, from abstract to architecture, from nature to cityscapes.
The Award is offered to both professional photographers and amateurs. Everything from the flutter of a bird's wings to the flicker of a shadow can become a masterpiece, provided the moment is caught at the right time. In 2019, the 5th Annual Fine Arts Photography Awards were conducted, and truly astounding entries were received in all 20 categories. These are the winning images from 5 categories that might make you want to pick up a camera yourself!
