At long last we can finally announce the winners and runners-up for the 2022 Booooooom Photo Awards. This was far and away the most submissions we’ve had for any call so far—it was an enjoyable challenge to sift through the thousands (and thousands) of images we received. Thanks to everyone who put in the effort to share work with us! You’ll be able to tell based on the images below, just how much great work we received. Thank you all.
We selected 6 winners, one for each of our categories: CLIMATE, PEOPLE, PLACES, THINGS, SERENDIPITY, COMMUNITY. Each winner received $500 and will be included in a special photo publication that will be sent to curators and photo editors we respect. We also picked a larger group of runners-up from each of the categories, and these photographers will also be included in, and receive, the publication.
Keep an eye out for interviews with each of the winners sharing the stories behind their images. Without further ado, here are the winners and runners-up for the 2022 Booooooom Photo Awards.
