We believe photography does more than capture a moment — it captures perspective. The Reflections Photography Competition invites photographers of all levels to explore the theme of reflection in its broadest and most imaginative form.
From mirrored skylines in still harbor waters to emotional introspection captured in a portrait, reflections can be literal or symbolic. We encourage participants to interpret the theme creatively — through light, water, glass, shadow, architecture, nature, or human experience.
Entries will be evaluated on overall impact and excellence, with careful consideration given to how effectively each image interprets the theme of “Reflections,” whether literally or conceptually. Judges will assess composition, visual balance, and immediate engagement; technical execution including exposure, focus, lighting, and color accuracy; originality and creative vision; and the image’s ability to evoke emotion or tell a compelling story. The highest-scoring works will demonstrate a strong, cohesive blend of artistic intent, technical skill, and meaningful connection to the theme.
