For the sixth year in a row the top 10 images in each of the World Photographic Cup’s six categories have been announced at Imaging USA by PPA CEO David Trust and WPC governing committee members Bert Behnke and Don Dickson. The ceremony has been broadcast on Facebook Live. If you love beautiful images… and we know you do… you are in the right place, and you can watch the entire ceremony here (WPC Ceremony starts from min. 57)
To be a Top 10 image is important, because it means that all these images are in the running for individual Gold, Silver, or Bronze medals which will be presented at the World Photographic Cup ceremony on April 8th in Drammen, Norway. It also means that each of these images… and their creators…. have the chance to help their country to win the World Photographic Cup.
The announcement of the Top 10 in each of the World Photographic Cup categories has been preceded by the announcement of the Best of Nation awards. In 2018 the World Photographic Cup began awarding the Best of Nation Award to the authors of the highest scoring images from each of the participating countries.
