iPhone Photography Awards is an informal effort to recognize the best in amateur iPhone photography
The competition, which dates back to 2007, the year of the iPhone's debut, is the first and longest photo contest focused on the powers of your favorite portable photography device. IPPA is an informal effort to recognize the best in amateur iPhone photography; with a $3 entrance fee and only two requirements — that the photos be taken on an iPhone, iPod or iPad and that they not be Photoshopped — it’s truly a photo contest for the everyman.
Thousands of artists from all over the world contributed their best images captured via iPhone, iPod or iPad, submitting them to 17 categories including sunsets, travel and architecture. The photos can be manipulated on phone apps like Instagram, but Photoshop and other desktop post-processing methods are prohibited. As you'll see, most photographers don't even need to manipulate their stunning images with faux vintage filters.

This year 54 photographers took home prizes, hailing from 17 countries overall. The winning images range from adorable animals to breathtaking landscapes to aesthetically intriguing architectural forms. We've included a small fraction of the victors below. Take a look and perhaps you'll be inspired by the vast artistic potential just waiting in your humble iOS.
