Our December Awards submission period closed at the end of last month and we faced some difficult decisions in choosing our group of winners in the Wedding Portraiture & Wedding Photojournalism categories. Since the cut-off was on December 31st, we didn’t have the opportunity to include these winners in our year-end roundup. If you didn’t receive an award, don’t give up! We choose winners every month so keep submitting for your chance to win for the month of January!

We also just introduced a new category for Awards: Landscapes/Cityscapes! Submissions for this category are now open – submit here!

To familiarize yourself with the scoring and selection of our winners please visit the Awards Instructions page. The winners are determined by a combination of community scoring and panel scoring. The panel consists of photographers from the creators of SLR Lounge, Lin and Jirsa Photography, along with other professional photographers/SLR Lounge editors.
