The iPhone Photography Awards were created 11 years ago when the popularity of taking photos with an iPhone started to increase. Every year, the competition receives thousands of submissions. Photographers can enter images in 20 categories, including news and events, landscape, still life and travel. In addition to the winners chosen from those categories, the judges also award two "photographer of the year" prizes: grand prize and first place.
The competition is the first and longest-running competition for people taking photos with their iPhones (or iPads).
