The Silent Menace
Congratulations to Sawyer and his entry titled, “The Silent Menace”, in being selected as Special Photographer of the Year in the professional division of the 2020 Edition of the International Photography Awards.
The 2020 International Photography Awards has received more than 13,000 submissions from 120 countries around the world, from some of the most important photographers. The judges have faced the incredibly challenging task of selecting the winners in each of the 13 categories.
Showcasing some of the most outstanding photographic work from around the globe, the world-renowned International Photography Awards (IPA) has named the Category Winners and finalists in its 2020 Photography Competition for the Professional and Non-Professional/Student categories.
The judges praised this year’s winners for their exceptional work across various genres and styles. Hossein Farmani, IPA’s founder and president, commented, “In these unprecedented times, this year’s entries reflect some of the biggest challenges facing our generation–not the least of which is dealing with a virus which, for the first time, is an event that has affected every person on earth in some way. We see photography at its best–whether covering the Covid pandemic, or the world’s uprising against injustice–the images captured are breathtaking. I can easily say these are the best images I have seen in the last decades.”
IPA’s distinguished international jury of renowned photography experts judged over 13,000 entries from 120 countries around the world to finally select these outstanding category winners. In order to support and honour the outstanding work of both professional and amateur photographers around the world during the COVID-19 crisis, International Photo Awards will match the cash prizes that are awarded to the Category Winners this year with an equal cash donation to the charity of the winning photographer’s choice in their community.
Sawyer chose to support “Exposure – Alberta’s Photography Festival“.
Congratulations again to Sawyer. The Annual International Photography Awards, usually held in Carnegie Hall in New York City, will be held online this year as a Live Streaming Event on February 13 & 14, 2021.
Sawyer’s Award winning photo will also be on exhibit in New York City along with the rest of the IPA winning photos.
