2025 SHOOT THE FRAME ANNUAL
Photographer: Javier Arcenillas
Photographer: Ian Pettigrew
Launched in 2012, Shoot The Frame evolved into a global suite of photography contests celebrating exceptional portrait, landscape and wildlife photography.
In 2025, we’re pausing on the monthly contests and launching the inaugural Shoot The Frame Portrait Award.
Photographer: Ian Pettigrew
Honouring the strength of a single photographic portrait — you may submit as many photos as you like, but each will be judged on its own individual merit.
A curated series of up to 15 portraits that connect as a complete body of work. Visual stories told through tone, subject, or theme — judged as one unified entry.
USD $4,000 in cash prizes.
In addition to the cash prizes, we are kicking off our first annual award with support from brands and creative companies that champion exceptional photography. From gear to photography festivals — our partners will help us reward the photographers who truly stand out.
Additional prizes and partner announcements coming soon.

It all began in 2012 with a single focus — portrait photography. Over time, the collection expanded to celebrate landscapes and wildlife, growing into a global platform recognizing powerful photography across genres.
For 13 years, our monthly contests showcased striking portraits, dramatic landscapes, and rare moments in the wild — celebrating thousands of photographers around the world.
Now, the monthly rhythm is on pause. In its place comes a new annual award, honoring the craft of the portrait and the photographers who bring it to life.
