The Worldwide Photography Gala Awards was incorporated when launching an international competition for professional and amateur photographers. Winning images were exhibited in June 2010 at the Circle of Fine Arts. The two winners, Dilip Bhatia from India and Larry Louie from Canada, as well as the special selection of the Jury, John Delaney from US, were invited by The Gala Awards to attend the artist’s reception in Madrid.

Since then, we have provided juried competitions for professionals and amateur photographers from around the world to compete in five awards and selected thematic contests, offering artists opportunities for both awards and competitions. The four Awards include; the Pollux Award, The Jacob Riis Editorial and Documentary Award, The Julia Margaret Cameron Award for women photographers, The Charles Dodgson Black & White Award, and the Robert Cornelius Portraits Award. The Gala Awards also organize thematic competitions, such as, The Urban & Rural Landscape Competition and the Street Photography Competition.
