Epson Pano Awards 2026 now open for submission; Panoramic photography festival returns with new Aerial category
The Epson Pano Awards 2026 have officially started and have begun accepting submissions of panoramic photography. Continuing its partnership with The Pano Awards, Epson SEA is sponsoring the event to celebrate global photographic talent.
The 2026 competition welcomes both professional and amateur photographers to submit panoramic images with a minimum aspect ratio of 2:1. This year, the awards introduce a new Aerial category for both the Open and Amateur divisions, reflecting the growing use of drone and aerial imaging.
Alongside this, photographers can showcase their work in established categories including Nature and Landscape, Built Environment and Architecture, and VR/360. For the judging panel, top industry professionals and photographers such as Bill Bailey, Daniel Kordan, and Annette Mossbacher will come together to provide the best-in-class review and critique.
One can submit their photographs until June 22, with the final deadline being July 13. With more than US$50,000, including fifteen K in cash up for grabs, the overall Open winner will receive a prize package exceeding US$11,000.
