The Professional Photographer's Association of Spain created the LUX Professional Photography Awards in 1993 - the first country-wide professional photography award with the objective of recognising and promoting the best photographers in Spain. Every year, entries are received across Advertising, Fashion, Still Life and Food, Industrial, Architecture and Interior Design, Portrait, Reportage, Landscape and Nature, Personal Project, Social Events and Juniors.

The Lux Awards, considered 'the Oscars' of professional photography, are the most prestigious professional photography awards in Spain and serve as a reference and meeting point for everyone in the business, The awards ceremony is one of the best networking events in the industry, as well as an excellent platform for photographers to showcase their talent.

This year is the 23rd edition and you are invited to participate with your best work. The call for entries is open between 20th July through to 30th September. Judging will be held in Barcelona and Madrid in October, and the awards ceremony itself will be held in Barcelona on 18th November.
