Yoga for Photographers

The Icon International Photography Awards annual competition celebrates iconic photography with a primary focus on inspiration, education, integrity, and the power of print to elevate the photography industry.

‍The Icon Awards continues the 30+ year legacy originally created by the WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) annual photography competition. When WPPI decided to discontinue their photography competition in 2023, Jerry and Melissa Ghionis launched the Icon Awards and continued this tradition of celebrating excellence in photography.

Entries in the competition will be anonymously scored by five judges, with final scores determining eligibility for silver, gold, and platinum awards, along with digital badges and certificates. Your top four entries contribute to your Icon Honors of Excellence designation.

The WPPI Sneak Peek is your exclusive first look at everything this year’s conference has to offer. Be among the first to explore what’s in store—connect with fellow photographers, industry experts, and vendors in a relaxed setting before the expo floor officially opens. This is your chance to get a head start on networking, discover the latest gear, and map out your game plan for the week ahead. Whether you’re looking to make new connections, scope out must-see exhibitors, or simply soak in the excitement before the main event, the Sneak Peek sets the perfect tone for an unforgettable WPPI experience.
