The Canarian Photo Awards are a new photography competition, ostensibly established to promote the spectacular natural landscapes of the Canary Islands. The winning images span the globe and offer a magnificent assortment of spectacular shots.
The competition spans five easy-to-understand categories, focusing on drone, landscape, wildlife, and night photography. Only the fifth category, Canary Islands, must be an image taken in the Canary Islands.

This year’s Grand Prize went to Santiago Leonardo Rodriguez for his truly astounding shot of a volcanic eruption producing lightning. Titled “La Hoz y el Martillo” (hammer and sickle), the picture earned Rodriguez his €4,000 (US$4,300) prize.

Any famous photo is great for a small new photo contest. With decent prize money attached, the contest has amassed an impressive array of stunning entries, from Luka Vunduk’s gorgeous shots of his Landcsape Award to some notable wildlife imagery.
Perhaps the most novel category in this contest focuses specifically on images of the Canary Islands. Here, the contest offers another collection of photos that rivals the best of other photo contests.Wilmer Valdez Hinojosa’s gold award-winning images of lava eruptions offer a fantastically unique perspective of a volcano. To do.
