The Finalists Of The 2020 Panoramic Photography Awards Have Been Revealed

Panoramic photography has never been the easiest form of photography to master. Even in this day and age. Though if one manages to do so, they gain the means to create truly breathtaking masterpieces and to capture our everyday world in ways that are totally unique. Every year, the unbelievably talented participants of The EPSON International Pano Awards prove it beyond perfectly. The EPSON International Pano Awards is a contest dedicated "to the craft and art" of panoramic photography and it's the world's largest competition devoted to this genre of photography. This year, the organizers of the contest received 5,859 entries from 1,452 photographers in 96 countries. With that being said, Bored Panda invites you to take a look at some of the most spectacular shots from the 11th EPSON International Panoramic Photography Awards.

"I spent a blissful day snowshoeing in the BC Coastal Mountains in March. With such a deep snowpack, it was still very wintery up high. I find the more time I spend alone in nature, the quieter my mind gets. The quieter my mind gets, the more subtleties I notice in my surroundings. I only saw this tree because of that state of being. This image was a product of solitude and mindfulness," Matt Jackisch describes his winning shot.

The overall winner of the 2020 Amateur Competition was Juan López Ruiz from Spain with his shot called "Light and Dark on the Towers." "This shot is a view of two of the four skyscrapers that make up the Cuatro Torres financial complex in Madrid. I really liked the composition of the towers along with one of the canopies in the area. I took the image thinking of doing digital black and white processing and enhancing the contrast by adding shadows and light to create a more impressive image," the winner describes his photo.

Turns out, The EPSON International Pano Awards was founded back in 2009 by Australian landscape photographer David Evans with support from EPSON Australia. The aim of the competition is "to give the genre of panoramic photography its day in the sun, especially via the showcase of winning and top-scoring entries to media around the world."
