Behind the Lens: The Judging Process

Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at the Santi Photo Awards?

The judging process is rigorous as the photos themselves. A panel of  judges, comprising renowned photographers, industry experts, is tasked with the challenging job of evaluating each entry based on several criteria.

The judging process begins with an initial review, where entries are assessed for technical excellence, creativity, and emotional impact. From there, a shortlist is created, and the judges engage in detailed discussions and deliberations to select the finalists. This stage of the process is marked by robust debates and thorough analysis, ensuring that only the best of the best make it to the final round.

Finally, the audience gets their say through the audience voting phase, adding an element of public engagement and excitement. The combined scores from the jury and public votes determine the winners, who are then announced in a grand ceremony.

Showcasing the best  of the best

One of the most anticipated moments of the Santi Photo Awards is the unveiling of the winning entries. Each photo tells a story, capturing a moment in time that speaks volumes about the subject, the photographer, and the art of photography itself.
