The International Photography Awards has announced the winners of its 2020 photography competition. Showcasing some of the most outstanding photographic work from around the globe, this year’s contest gathered a total of 13,000 entries from 120 countries. Discover the selection of winners and honorable mentions from the architecture sub-categories: fine art, cityscapes, bridges, buildings, interior, historic, industrial, abstract, and other.
The IPA revealed its 2020 winners. To select the category frontrunners, an international jury of renowned photography experts judged a total of 13,000 entries from 120 countries around the world, across various genres and styles. On the occasion, IPA’s founder and president, Hossein Farmani, stated that “In these unprecedented times, this year’s entries reflect some of the biggest challenges facing our generation - not the least of which is dealing with a virus which, for the first time, is an event that has affected every person on earth in some way. We see photography at its best - whether covering the Covid pandemic, or the world’s uprising against injustice - the images captured are breathtaking. I can easily say these are the best images I have seen in the last decades.”
Following this announcement, an exhibition will take place, during Lucie Week in New York. Featuring all Pro and Non-Pro category winners, plus a specially curated selection of images from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prize recipients, the show’s exhibition will also be on display the following year in venues all around the world, including Los Angeles, Moscow, Paris, Budapest, Barcelona, Tokyo, Taipei, Shanghai, Manila, Bangkok, and more.
