Once a year, the top 50 photographs from our online issues are collected into a printed special edition — limited to one top ranked photo per photographer.
Photos are ranked by reader votes, tracked by clicking the favorite star on each page in the online magazine. Our leaderboard shows the current top 100 at all times.
Placement is earned by engagement: there’s no sponsorship or paid entry into the Annual special issue. Only high-resolution, print-ready images qualify, and being considered is your choice — opt in when you submit your photo.

We feature 42+ photographers in each of our magazines every issue. We try to feature each photographer on our list on a rotational basis.
Every few weeks we send out an email to eligible photographers requesting photo submissions for the upcoming two issues. There are no submission fees.
Submissions are considered on a first come, first serve basis. If your photo is selected, you will be notified by email which issue it is scheduled to be featured in and provided with the publishing schedule for that issue.
