In December, we launched the first annual 500px Global Photography Awards , an initiative created to recognize and highlight the amazing talent within the community. Our Editors came up with four overarching categories that represent the 500px community. Photographers of all skill levels were challenged to submit their best photos to the categories that best suited their bodies of work. After much deliberation, the team at 500px came together and reviewed over 45,000 images to select this year’s winners and runners-up. The four first-place winners for each category will receive the title of 500px Photographer of the Year, a badge for their Profile, and a $1500 USD cash prize. Each category also has two runners-up who will receive a cash prize.  On behalf of the entire team at 500px, we want to thank the community for taking part in our first Global Photography Awards competition and for inspiring us every day with your passion and commitment to photography.  Now without further ad

For years, we’ve found inspiration in blogs created by photographers of all genres. Tristan Zhou has shared gear guides for beginners, while Tanner Wendell Stewart has transported us to the breathtaking landscapes of the Faroe Islands. Through his blog, Benjamin Von Wong shares behind-the-scenes stories from his epic and surreal conservation-themed photoshoots (for this shoot below, for example, he borrowed 10,000 plastic bottles from a waste management center). Heading into 2022, photography blogs offer a wellspring of ideas and knowledge, while also giving artists new and evolving ways to engage their audiences, from traditional articles to vlogs and more. For established photographers, blogs offer the opportunity to share their know-how and give back to the community. For up-and-coming photographers, blogging can also be instrumental in establishing an online presence and building a personal brand. These are our tips for getting started.

In the past year, contemporary art auctions soared to $2.7 billion, according to research from Artprice, reaching an all-time high after the initial collapse of sales in the early days of the Covid crisis. The rebound can be attributed to a number of factors, including the emergence of NFTs, or “non-fungible tokens.” In March, 22 million people logged onto Christie’s first public NFT sale, with 60% of those under the age of 40. This year, NFTs alone represented 2% of the overall market for art—and a third of online art sales. NFTs have officially entered the mainstream, with Collins Dictionary making “non-fungible token” their Word of the Year for 2021, citing an 11,000% rise in the use of the abbreviation “NFT.” Let’s take a look at what this phenomenon might mean for the larger fine art world heading into 2022. Digital ownership Non-fungible tokens are unique digital assets that are locked into a blockchain, which acts as a decentralized, public ledger. In the art world, we ca
