While 2020 can seem like a year that doesn’t offer many spectacular moments and photo opportunities, the influx of submissions for various photo contests paint a different picture. This Year’s EPSON Pano Awards, which is the 11th edition of the panoramic photo competition, had 6,000 entries from 1,452 professional and amateur photographers and no less than 96 countries.
The contest is divided between the Open Competition, reserved for professionals, and the Amateur Competition. This year, Canadian photographer Matt Jackisch was the overall winner of the Open Competition for his haunting photo titled Spring Hibernation. Taken in British Columbia, the panorama shows a lone tree sticking up from the wintry landscape.
In the Amateur Competition, the victory went to Juan Lopez Ruiz. His talent was showcased in the two very different yet equally striking photographs - a black and white composition of the Cuatro Torres financial district in Madrid and a panorama of lavender fields in the midst of a lightning storm.
These are just some of the breathtaking images you’ll see when you scroll through the winning images. To learn more, visit the EPSON Pano Awards website.
