The Drone Photo Awards is a global celebration of aerial photography, bringing together professional, amateur, and student drone photographers who share a passion for seeing the world from new and extraordinary perspectives. The competition highlights the creative potential of drone technology and honors images that transform the sky into a powerful storytelling canvas.

An international panel of highly respected photographers, editors, and visual arts experts judges each submission with great care, seeking images that demonstrate originality, artistic vision, and innovative use of aerial viewpoints. The judging process reflects a deep appreciation for both technical mastery and emotional impact.

Photographers who win in the main categories are invited to the exclusive AWARDS CEREMONY and GALA, where they compete for the prestigious title of “Photographer of the Year.” The overall winner and category winners are awarded the coveted PANGEA PRIZE crystal statuette, a mark of global recognition and creative achievement.

Set against the timeless beauty of Siena, Italy, the awards ceremony is held every October at the historic Teatro dei Rinnovati. This unforgettable event reveals the “Photographer of the Year” and immerses guests in a stunning presentation of award-winning drone imagery from around the world.

Complementing the ceremony, the exhibition “Above Us Only Sky” will be presented in Siena, showcasing Winning and Honorable Mention photographs. The exhibition invites viewers to explore breathtaking aerial visions and experience the planet from an elevated, awe-inspiring point of view.
