The iPhone Photography Awards (IPPAWARDS) is a global photo contest exclusively for photos taken with an iPhone, continuing since the launch of the first iPhone in 2007. The contest is held annually, marking its 16th edition this year. It is one of the longest-running and highly reputed digital photo contests globally. Each year, one grand prize winner and three overall winners are selected, along with three winners in each of the 19 categories.
The entry fees range from $5.50 (1 photo), $12.50 (3 photos), $18.50 (5 photos) to $75.50 (25 photos). There is no limit on the number of submissions.

The entry for 'IPPAWARDS 2024' has already started. Editing using iOS apps and shooting with external lenses attached to the iPhone are allowed. It's a casual contest open to both professionals and amateurs, so if you are confident in your sense, you should definitely try it. Perhaps a creator from cizucu might be chosen as a winner...?
