The International Amateur Photographer of the Year award (APOY) is now accepting close-up and macro photography entries until November 30, 2026. This category invites photographers to explore the world from a new perspective, revealing details that may go unnoticed by the naked eye. Close-up and macro photography can transform familiar subjects into abstract or extraordinary images by highlighting textures, patterns, and everyday objects in an entirely new light.
To succeed in this category, photographers must pay close attention to composition, color, texture, and the relationship between the subject and its surroundings. With entry fees set at zero for photographers aged 13-21 in the Young Amateur Photographer of the Year competition and free entries for all other participants, there's no excuse not to share your unique close-up and macro photographs with the world.
