The Mobile Photo Awards have had the largest response to a paid open-call in the short history of Mobile Photography. With over 50,000 page views and 11,000 unique visitors from 114 countries, the awards had over 2200 image entries. The competition was designed to celebrate the explosive growth of cell-phone photography and art. The winning 25 entries will be part of a traveling exhibit alongside images from the jury and a select few honorable mentions. The exhibit will premiere with a three month engagement at San Francisco’s prestigious ArtHaus gallery beginning in April of 2012.
“Thanks to the advancements in lenses and image sensors for mobile phones, and the eco-system of developers who have created photo processing applications, the creativity of mobile photography knows no bounds,” said Daniel Berman, founder of the Mobile Photo Awards and a noted mobile photographer known as Reservoir_Dan. “With this competition and open gallery call, we now give mobile photographers and artists the chance to take that creativity even further and show the art world and public just how inspiring these images can be.”
The awards partnered with 12 of the most popular iPhone photo apps including Filterstorm, FX PhotoStudio, CrossProcess, ShakeItPhoto, ScratchCam, and Juxtaposer. Archival prints will be sent to the winners courtesy of FotoMoto. Keepsy will provide free photo books to winners in three categories and Life In LoFi will feature showcases for three of the winners.
Entries were judged based on originality, creativity, and adherence to the contest theme. The jury was comprised of 15 of today’s most celebrated mobile photographers and includes widely published and well-known iPhoneographers such as Aik Beng Chia, Alan Kastner, Robert-Paul Jansen, and Nettie Edwards. A complete list of the jury can be seen at mobilephotoawards.com.
