Winners of the 2024 iPhone Photography Awards

The iPhone Photography Awards (IPPAWARDS) has announced the winners of its 17th annual photo competition, showcasing the world's finest iPhone photos.

Founded in 2007, the iPhone Photography Awards is the world's first and longest-running iPhone photography competition.

In 2024, winners were selected across 14 categories, ranging from people to cityscapes, in addition to the overall Grand Prize and First, Second, and Third Prize winners.

Grand Prize Winner Erin Brooks of the United States received the Photographer of the Year Award for her image titled 'Boy Meets Shark', captured on the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Taken in Tampa, Florida, it portrays a young boy standing in awe before a massive shark, symbolising the innocence of youth juxtaposed with the mysteries of the deep sea.

1st place in Photographer of the Year was awarded to Glen Wilbert of the United States, for his image 'Life Guard Camp', captured in Huntington Beach, California, capturing the organised chaos and energy of lifeguards in training.

Second place in Photographer of the Year went to Anthony Maureal of the United States, for his image 'Pupils', captured at Ta Prohm in Siem Reap, Cambodia, illustrating the quiet focus of young monks as they meditate in the ancient temple.

Finally, Wenlong Jiang of China was third, capturing the vastness and intricate structure of an indoor space. A lone figure provides a sense of scale and solitude within the grand environment in Fujian, China.
