The world of mobile photography has come a long way since the first camera phone was introduced in 2000. Fast forward to 2020, and we have a global competition dedicated solely to mobile photography, the Mobile Photography Awards (MPA). The MPA just announced the winners of their 10th Annual selection of the best works of international photography shot with smartphones, and the results are stunning!

The grand prize winner and 10th Annual MPA Photographer of the Year, Dan Liu, a mobile photographer from China, received a cash prize of $3,000 (US). His winning photograph captured the essence of mobile photography perfectly, showcasing the rapid evolution of mobile phone cameras. However, Dan was not the only one who walked away with a prize. The MPA received over 5,700 submissions from more than 75 countries, and the jury selected winners across 20 themed categories, including Architecture and Design.

Speaking of architecture, the winning photograph of the Architecture and Design category, 'Beauty of arches,' captured by Mona Jumaan, was a stunning shot taken with an iPhone XR at the King Hassan Mosque in Morocco. The image showcased the intricate details of the mosque's arches and played with the light and shadows beautifully, making it a well-deserved winner of the category.

MPA founder, Daniel Berman, a photographer and filmmaker based near Toronto, Canada, commented on the rapid evolution of mobile phone cameras, saying, “...the iPhone is still the most widely used by our entrants, but this year we saw a larger variety of camera phones than ever before. Each competition we hold sees the quality of the submitted photos grow by leaps and bounds."

Throughout its ten-year history, the Mobile Photography Awards has become the world’s premiere photography competition for mobile phones and tablets, providing opportunities for photographers and artists to showcase their work in gallery shows produced across the world.
