Yesterday, the winners and finalists for the 5th annual Chromatic Photography Awards competition were announced. Photographers from all over the world submitted images as either professionals or amateurs to 20 categories including Architecture, Culture, Nature, People, Sport, and Travel.
The Chromatic Photographer of the Year title and a $2,000 cash prize was awarded to Felicia Simion for her image of women wearing traditional kerchiefs during an Orthodox Epiphany Day liturgy. An underwater image of an ice diver in the Arctic Circle netted Petr Polách the Chromatic Discovery of the Year award and $1,000.
Winners, finalists, and honorable mentions will be published in the Chromatic Awards Annual Book. This slideshow features images from the professional pool. All images selected for this and the amateur division can be viewed on the competition’s website.
