We believe your vision is unlike any other — shaped by curiosity, intuition, and a deep sensitivity to the world around you. You uncover beauty in the familiar and turn sweeping skies and grounded terrain into moments of visual storytelling. Every image is a conversation. Every capture is an encounter with inspiration. Here, where sky meets earth, perspective stretches endlessly. The 11th Anniversary Contest is ready to begin. This is your moment to Frame Your World.

The competition is open to all aerial content created using drones, inviting creators to explore new viewpoints and tell compelling stories from above.

Entries must be submitted through the SkyPixel website. Each piece of content may be entered into one category only, and duplicate submissions across multiple categories are not permitted.

Video entries must not exceed five minutes in total length and must include a minimum of 30 seconds of aerial footage. Photo entries must be captured by drone, with each image meeting a minimum file size of 3 MB and a resolution of at least 300 dpi, with EXIF data retained.

Participants are required to list all equipment used in the production of their work. Any content that has previously won awards in other SkyPixel competitions is ineligible.

By entering, participants confirm the accuracy of all submitted information, affirm ownership of the content, and ensure that no laws or third-party rights have been violated. Any breach of these conditions will result in disqualification.

The competition features a $200,000 equipment prize pool, offering photographers and videographers the chance to elevate their craft with professional-grade tools.
