Introducing the AUTO PHOTO Awards 2025 Top 100 – a celebration of the best creative automotive photography from around the world, selected from thousands of entries, representing a diverse selection of imagery that stood out amongst a incredibly high calibre of submissions.

The Top 100 will be printed in the next edition of our collectable AUTO PHOTO book, AUTO PHOTO 04, published by Shutter Hub Editions, and showcased in our Top 100 touring exhibition alongside our category and partner award winners.

Over 25 individual awards will be presented – Winners and Highly Commended in each of our five categories, one winner for each of our Partner Awards, and our People’s Choice Award. Find full details of all the awards here.
