The award for talented portrait photographers

The Unlike Portrait Awards is an annual photo contest for talented portrait photographers from all corners of the world. With 24 awards, 8 different categories and 4 specialised jury members, the organisation rewards the best and brightest professionals. You can now register for our annual 2021 edition.

Winning an award can be life changing for a portrait photographer. Every year we present 24 awards in 8 different categories. Our concrete awards are created by world-renowned artist and designer Pavel Yurkov. The Lubitel 166 is an analogue masterpiece and stands for simplicity and unlimited creative possibilities.

We partnered with the Quina Care Foundation, a non profit organisation that aims to improve medical health care in Putumayo. By joining the competition, you help realising a hospital in the middle of the Amazon rainforest providing care to people in the most remote, poorest and unstable area of Ecuador.
