Covid Chronicles
However damaging the pandemic was, not least to the events industry, it also brought the best out of society, with kindness and community spirit to the fore. From caterers delivering meals to the NHS, to vaccine volunteers coping with queues. This special one-off category gives entrants an opportunity to showcase what they captured while Covid was affecting our lives and industry.

PORTRAITS
A classic photography genre, Portraits probably should have been a category from the inception of the Event Photography Awards – but within the title lies the limiting and key factor… Entries need to be in the context of an event, but that can be anything from a conference or corporate away-day, to a concert or wedding.
Cultural Events
sponsorship available
This broad category encompasses anything from community events, fairs and festivals, to theater and dance performances, fashion shows and art exhibitions.

"Pride", Dave Bird, 2015
Spanish Festival of Fire & Horses", Luis Tato, 2017
Weddings
Coverage of the 'event' elements of a wedding, the parts that take real planning and vision. Consider more late night dance floor action rather than dress fittings.
Music Events
sponsorship available
Music festivals, concerts and gigs, orchestral or choral performances, of course, but images of live music at private or corporate events are also welcome.
"Backflip", Corinne Cumming, 2017
"Untitled", Ocean Belcher, 2015
"Backflip", Corinne Cumming, 2017
Private Events
sponsorship available
Includes all events but weddings! Think birthdays, anniversaries or retirement parties, to bar or bat mitzvahs, and family reunions.
Sporting Events
Competitors in action makes for compelling photography, but also think sporting ‘events’ and everything that goes into to organising and enjoying them.
Trade Shows & exhibitions
sponsorship available
Shots that capture 'the essence’ of an exhibition - from wide shots of the floor with stands and crowds, to close interactions between visitors and vendors.
