Excellence in Wedding Photography
Every three months we celebrate a new round rewarding the most original, emotional and impressive wedding photos and reports. We are always looking for news and for this reason photos that have received awards in other contests are not allowed.
FdB Awards is one of the most prestigious and respected competitions in the world of wedding photography. With more than 2.000 unique participants and two categories: individual photos and full reports.
We have the help of a jury made up of top-level international professionals and a rigorous evaluation process. Less than 10% of the photos submitted get recognized. Only in this way can we guarantee an excellent selection that will be a source of inspiration for everyone: photographers and grooms.

How to participate in the contest?
To participate in the contest for wedding photographers it is necessary to be part of the FdB certified photographers. You can request your certification in this link. Certified photographers can send a maximum of 15 photos not previously won by other contests.
Participants will send their photos through the form on the web, in the period established in the calendar. Each of the photographs will be reviewed to confirm that they meet the established requirements.
Evaluation Modality
The images will be renamed, mixed randomly and sent to the jury formed by three renowned foreign photographers. The three judges will independently choose among the admitted photographs a number of photos they consider worthy of the prize.
The photographs chosen by a greater number of judges become part of the winning selection. A Contest for Wedding Photographers will be held. The professional who has received the highest number of awards at the end of the year will be named "Photographer of the Year".
