The
Pilsner Urquell International Photography Awards conducts two competitions each year--one
for professional photographers and one for non-professionals.
Both are open to photographers anywhere in the world.
The winners of the main categories listed below will compete
for IPA's top award of International Photographer
of the Year. Those finalists will be invited to attend
the Lucie Awards, presented by Pilsner Urquell, where one
will be announced as the grand winner, earning the coveted
Lucie and a cash prize of $10,000 provided by AtEdge.
In addition, the non-professional category winners will compete
for the Discovery of the Year Award, for
which one will win the Lucie and $5,000 provided by Pilsner
Urquell. In 2007 Pilsner Urquell launched the Deeper
Perspective Photographer of the Year (Special Deadline for Deeper Perspective is July 15, 2008), where
both professionals and nonprofessional will compete for that
title, win the coveted Lucie and a cash prize ($5,000) sponsored by
Pilsner Urquell.
