International Aerial Photographer of the Year
You can take aerial photographs using a drone, a plane, a helicopter or a balloon. You can take an aerial photograph from the top of a tall building or a mountain. All that’s required is that your photograph has an aerial perspective. The Entries presented for judging must be photographic in origin (taken with a camera, including the camera in a drone), but there are no restrictions on post-production, except that any post-production must be the work of the entrant.
