Siena AwardsCreative Photo Awards aims to recognize and reward visionary artists using photographic processes and images. It's searching for photos born out of the passion and from the author's deep sensitivity: the result from a need to express feelings through the image, a unique view of the surrounding reality. We seek to find artists and unique souls who breathe and live for creativity. Creative Photo Awards aims to be a perfect instrument, which allows a person to communicate with the world and share their vision. What matters is your unique vision and your skills in translating that vision into exceptional and original work. Show us how you're pushing the photographic medium, experimenting with different techniques or creative approaches to bring your ideas to life.
In this competition, everyone is free to use any technique. Only the final effect counts. We break all the rules, and we want you to break them with us by creating new trends in art. Our judges evaluate the work of artists in different categories so that the participants have a better chance at precisely defining their niche and showcasing their innovative prowess in the area they feel most comfortable with. The winners will be exhibited in Siena alongside Siena Awards!
