What are the International Color Awards?

Now in its 19th year, the International Color Awards is a juried competition dedicated exclusively to color photography. A rotating jury of influential creatives reviews submitted work and selects standout images for nomination and recognition. With a wide range of professional and amateur categories, the competition is a celebration of how color can shape storytelling, emotion, and artistic impact. Recognition here affirms your ability to create vibrant, memorable work that stands out globally.

Why It Matters

Earning a nomination or award at the International Color Awards is a mark of excellence, demonstrating that your work stands out among talented photographers around the world. Additionally, this recognition affirms the power of the photography while elevating the dancers whose drive and individuality are captured in each image.
