We are pleased to reveal the winners and finalists of the 2025 Color Awards, a distinction that celebrates the remarkable talent and creative vision of this year’s selected photographers. Each of them has demonstrated an outstanding ability to translate emotion, light, and form into powerful visual narratives that stand out in today’s photographic landscape.
The judging process was carried out with the utmost care and precision by a panel of respected professionals from the world of photography. Their evaluation considered every detail — from technical mastery and visual strength to composition and originality — in order to identify works that truly represent excellence.
The selected photographs, noted for their striking quality and aesthetic coherence, will be featured in the upcoming publication Colors – The Best Photographs 2025, to be released in November. This edition will highlight the artists behind these images, including their names and contact details, offering them the visibility and recognition their work so fully deserves.
