This year marks the 14th awards event, showcasing photos taken using a range of different iPhone models.
And it just goes to show that even with a smartphone, you can still take professional-grade snaps that will make your pals jealous.
“The 14th Annual Awards recognise photographs taken over a remarkable year of grief and loneliness,” said an IPPA Awards spokesperson.
“But despite a global pandemic, the winning images all glimpse moments of beauty, hope and the endurance of the human spirit.”
The top prize went to photojournalist Istvan Kerekes, from Hungary.
His photo of two shepherds in a rugged industrial landscape, and carrying lambs, wowed judges.
But there were dozens of photos that won prizes in different categories.
It proves that today’s mobiles are equipped with seriously impressive cameras – though snappers were allowed to use mobile apps and add-on lenses to improve their shots.
Photos entered into the competition can’t be published anywhere other than your own social media, and compete in categories like animals, panoramas and nature.
Here are the remaining winners…
