Welcome to the 3rd Edition of the Umbra Awards 2025—a celebration of artistry, innovation, and the enduring power of visual storytelling. As one of the world’s most prestigious photography competitions, the Umbra International Photography Awards™ honor those who dare to see differently—visionaries whose lenses capture not only images but ideas, emotions, and moments that redefine the boundaries of creativity itself.

This year, photographers from around the globe are invited to submit their most compelling work and compete for the title of Grand Photographer of the Year 2025. The winner will be awarded the Umbra Awards Grand Gold Statue, a symbol of excellence in contemporary photography, along with exclusive Gold Medals recognizing artistic achievement.

Each edition of the Umbra Awards expands this legacy—bringing together diverse perspectives, celebrating cultural narratives, and elevating the global standard of photographic art.

Submit your vision, share your story, and become part of the Umbra tradition. Your work deserves the world’s attention. This is your moment to shine on the international stage.
