Call for entries: 2015 iPhone Photography Awards
Deadline is on March 31, 2015

MANILA, Philippines – When you start out in photography, it’s easy to fall prey to the trap of buying expensive prime lenses and lighting equipment that promises more professional-looking photographs.

But while there’s no denying that DSLR cameras might help you get more sophisticated pictures, today’s smartphone cameras can often be a good alternative to their bulkier (and much more expensive) counterparts. 

The annual iPhone Photography Awards (IPPAWARDS) is calling for amateur and professional photographers alike to submit pictures under any of the following 17 categories by March 31, 2015: animals, abstract, architecture, children, flowers, food, landscape, lifestyle, nature, news or events, panorama, people, portrait, seasons, still life, sunset, travel, trees, and others – as long as the picture is taken with an iPhone, iPod or iPad.

While iPhone add-on lenses like the Olloclip are allowed, there’s no cheating here; post-processing in Photoshop or any other desktop image processing program will get you disqualified. (READ: 54 award-winning photos taken with smartphones

Up for grabs this year are 3 16GB iPad Airs, which will be given to the winners of the IPPA “Photographer of the Year” Award, while the top entry from each of the 17 categories will receive a gold bar from from Pamp Suisse mint, in addition to their winning entries being published on the iPPAWARDS online gallery.
