2024 Booooooom Photo Awards (Due Jan. 10)
2024 Booooooom Photo Awards
Deadline: January 10th, 2025
Calling all photographers! The Booooooom Photo Awards are back for a third year and officially open for submissions! We have 5 award categories to submit to: Portrait, Nature, Street, Colour, Fashion. Our friends over at Format are on board again to help us bring this to life. We’ll be awarding each category winner a $1,000 USD cash prize, editorial and social coverage, a feature in a printed publication, and some goodies from some of our friends (gift cards, bags, slings, cases). We also have 3 Format websites with lifetime subscriptions up for grabs.
Format is the online portfolio builder for photographers, illustrators, artists and designers. Recognized internationally for their award-winning website templates, they offer over 90 themes with thousands of design variables so you can customize your site to look as unique as your work. You can also sell your work commission free through the Format store. If you want to learn more about Format, check out their website here or start a 14-day free trial.
Everyone is welcome to submit one image to these awards for FREE. Members enjoy unlimited submissions and unlimited images for all award categories. If you want to submit more than one image or compete in multiple categories, consider becoming a member here!
Don’t miss out! This is your chance to get your work seen – and not just by our own Booooooom community! In addition to the $5,000 USD in cash prizes and bragging rights, all 5 winners (and 20 shortlisted photographers) will be featured in a special photo awards publication. Designed specifically to showcase your work, this zine will not be for sale but will be sent to all the winners and shortlisted photographers as well as curators and editors we respect. Winners and runners-up will also receive editorial coverage on Booooooom and promotion across all our social channels.
That’s not all, we also have fantastic prizes this year thanks to KEH, who are hooking up each of the category winners with a $500 gift card, and WANDRD, who are providing products for each of the 5 category winners, ranging from a selection of bags to lens and memory card cases!
AWARD CATEGORIES
PORTRAIT – Human subjects are the focus here.
NATURE – Images related to land, sea, sky, the natural world.
STREET – Street photography is generally understood to be candid unposed moments of everyday life in public spaces. Images may spontaneous and chaotic or they may be more quiet observations.
COLOUR – Images may feature one colour or an explosion of many. Or maybe they capture a few that feel in perfect harmony with one another. How can you make the viewer notice the colour first?
FASHION – Whether these images are editorial, lookbook, shot in studio or not, we want to see your most striking work.
