Award Ceremony

INTERNATIONAL PET PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR

September 7th, 2023

Shutterhound is proud to host the first ever in-person award ceremony for the prestigious International Pet Photographer of the Year Awards. After three unforgettable days of learning, we’ll cap off Shutterhound by showcasing and celebrating some the best photos the dog photography industry has ever seen!

Established in 2019, the International Pet Photographer of the Year Awards is the world’s largest professional pet photography competition. It is entering an exciting new phase in 2023, with Charlotte Reeves and Craig Turner-Bullock of Unleashed Education at the helm!

This year’s competition features an all-star panel of judges, five categories, and for the first time ever, cash prizes, trophies and certificates for both category and overall winners (not to mention personalized feedback from judges on all images entered).

It’s your chance to be crowned the 2023 International Pet Photographer of the Year!

Note: Admission to the awards ceremony is included with your ticket to Shutterhound. Whether you’ve entered an image into the competition or not, we strongly encourage all to attend this truly exciting first-ever event!
