Win $3000 For Photos Shot With a Smartphone | Mobile Photography Awards
Nowadays smartphones are available to anyone and they can click pictures of their choice anywhere and at any time. But, before smartphones, capturing a good picture, or even capturing a picture wasn’t sufficient. A photographer would have to purchase a good high-ended camera, a desktop computer, a software editor and would have to devote some serious time and money to get the perfect click.
With smartphones, everyone has the opportunity to become a photographer for as little as $150. The same smartphone comes with editing software built-in, hence, if you want to, you can discard your PC as well.
To promote and celebrate the talent of the mobile photo & art communities, Mobile Photography Awards was established in 2011. Since then, the competition is held every year from October to December where smartphone photographers can submit their entries to win a $3000 grand prize.
The 9th Annual Mobile Photography Awards is now accepting entries in several categories.
