Dear WPE Awards Members and Photographers,

As we conclude another remarkable year with the 2023 edition of the WPE Awards, we are once again inspired by the passion, artistry, and dedication demonstrated by photographers from across the globe.

With over 13,000 members representing 176 countries, the WPE Awards has grown into a truly international community. This success is a testament to your continued trust, participation, and commitment to excellence in photography.

The catalog you hold in your hands celebrates the outstanding achievements of those who have earned First, Second, and Third Place distinctions in our competitions. Each photograph featured here is more than an award-winning image—it is a reflection of vision, effort, and creative expression at the highest level.

As our community grows, so too does our responsibility to evolve. In response to your valuable feedback, we continue to introduce new categories, enhance our honor systems, and implement improvements that serve our shared passion for photographic excellence.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to every photographer who took part in this year’s competitions, to our distinguished panel of judges for their thoughtful evaluations, and to every member of the WPE community who has helped shape this platform into a globally recognized symbol of photographic prestige.

Best regards,
PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS EUROPE COMMUNITY
