The Aerial Photography Awards invited photographers from around the world to submit their best photos – using drones, helicopters, kites, balloons, or airplanes – to win $10,000 ($7,663).

And it’s clear the entrants pulled out all the stops.   

The competition, promoted via photopublicity.com, received thousands of entries from 65 participating countries, with 106 pictures commended in some way.

The grand prize winner, though, was Belgium’s Sebastien Nagy, who was declared Aerial Photographer of the Year 2020.

He remarked after receiving this award: ‘To be honest, I had never participated in a contest before, but I had heard about this one in a very positive way, so I took part in the game. I didn’t think I would win anything and it was mostly for fun. So I was very surprised when I heard the good news. It was a bit hard to believe at first as it was the Grand-Prix, but I did feel a real joy and pride.’

In the Constructions category, first prize went to Lebanese photographer Bachir Moukarzel for this stunning photograph of the 492ft-tall Dubai Frame, known as ‘the largest photo frame in the world’
