The Drone Photo Awards is the most important worldwide competition about aerial photography and video. It’s a project of Siena Awards, dedicated to a different photographic genre deliberately separated from being compared to traditional photography.
The competition is open to the aerial photography and videos whose platforms also include fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, balloons, blimps and dirigibles, rockets, kites, and parachutes.
All winning photographers for this award will be exhibited in October and November in Siena (Italy) alongside Siena Awards Festival! An opening reception will be held for artists, invited media, photo editors and industry insiders for a night of art appreciation and networking during one of the world’s largest international ceremonies dedicated to photography.
Award winners receive press coverage from publications and media outlets around the world - the kind of exposure that can lead to viral, global recognition of your work. Winners and selected entrants of Siena Awards have been featured in major publications including The Guardian, El Pais, Internazionale, Corriere Della Sera, The Times, The Sun, CNN, Spiegel Online, Daily Mirror. Share your work with the world.
All photographers retain full copyrights for their own work. Winners and Finalists grant Drone Photo Awards limited and restricted use of winning photos only to promote the photographers themselves and in connection with marketing the Drone Photo Awards competition itself. Details can be found in the Competition rules.
