DESCRIPTION:

The Close-Up Photographer of the Year (CUPOTY) Photography Awards, established in 2018, is an annual celebration of close-up, macro, and micro photography. The awards promote the often-overlooked intricate details of our world, promoting a unique form of photographic artistry. By emphasizing the smaller scales of life and the universe, the CUPOTY encourages photographers to explore and capture the beauty and complexity of details not visible to the naked eye.

This prestigious competition draws entries from photographers around the globe, eager to demonstrate their skills in capturing the minute details of their subjects. The competition is divided into several categories, including animals, plants, insects, and an open category, allowing for a diverse range of subjects and creative approaches.

The CUPOTY awards occur annually, with the entry period typically opening in the year's first quarter. Winners are announced later in the year, often in the last quarter, showcasing an array of stunning images that highlight the marvels of the microscopic world. Winning entries showcase technical proficiency and artistic vision and reveal the extraordinary details of ordinary objects.

Through these awards, the CUPOTY not only honors the skills of photographers but also educates and inspires the public about the wonders of the world seen through a close-up lens. This event has rapidly gained recognition and prestige, becoming a significant date in the photography community's calendar.
