How the Wedding Photography Awards Work
The Institute of Wedding Photographers Awards (IOWP) runs throughout the year, celebrating creativity, skill, and storytelling in wedding photography across the UK. Photographers can submit their best images at any time, with new entries accepted on a rolling basis.
Each year is divided into four award seasons, with finalists selected quarterly. Every three months, our judging panel will carefully review submissions and shortlist the most outstanding work in each category. All finalists will be notified by email.
At the end of November, we announce our annual winners—those who’ve truly stood out across the seasons. These overall winners will receive exclusive prizes, digital badges, and special recognition across our platforms.
Whether you’re submitting portraits, documentary moments, or creative lighting work, the UKWPA is your chance to gain exposure, boost your SEO, and be recognised as one of the leading wedding photographers in the UK.
Submit now and let your images do the talking!
