We’re really pleased to be able to announce that AUTO PHOTO Awards are here and our call for entries is now open.
Created by the team at Shutter Hub, AUTO PHOTO Awards will celebrate the best automotive photography in an exhibition, book and a series of awards.
We are dedicated to showcasing the best automotive photographers, creating opportunities for collaborations and commissions, and uniting everyone through our shared passions. All while creating new connections between international communities and the photography and automotive industries.
Aside from five individual category awards, there will be an exhibition of the winning and highly commended photographs, a book of the top 100 images will be produced by Shutter Hub Editions, as well and other prizes and opportunities.
Selected image entries will be showcased on Instagram throughout the open call and afterwards, and all winning images will be showcased on autophotoawards.com and shutterhub.org.uk
Five Diverse Categories:
Innovation
The world is changing, where do we go from here? It’s not all about EVs (but show us them too!), we want to see the integration of technologies, engine development, tuning and performance, sustainability in materials, resto-mods, hybrids and ICEs too!
Cars as Art
There’s beauty in the build. From abstract images and macro details to super sleek lighting and cars on the street, this is the place to take your creativity to the max.
Motorsport
On track or off road, from circuit racing to rally cross, endurance to sprint, and drag to drift, we want to see Motorsport in all its glory.
Scenes and Styling
Show us the show cars, the super-charged super cars, the priceless classics, the drift beasts, the slammed and stanced, the ‘built not bought’ cars, and everything in between.
Car Culture
It’s about the people behind the wheel and under the hood. This is the place to big-up the clubs and communities, the lifestyle, locations, and looks.
