We’ve been overwhelmed with the tremendous response to the 2019 RISE International Photography Awards. The RISE Awards welcomes entries into the categories of MATERNITY, BIRTH, NEWBORN, BABY, CHILDREN, FAMILY, PORTRAIT, PET & ANIMAL, and WEDDING.

This year saw over 4000 images entered into the preliminary round of judging, by photographers located all over the world. Thank you to our entrants, and to our team of 26 online judges whose task it was to review, score and offer feedback to each of the entries.

Results for the preliminary round of judging were released on August 24th. The Top 20 scoring images from each of the 9 categories progress into the Finalists Judging, taking place on August 27th and 28th.
