The 2024 Creative Photo Awards has announced its nominees.

The 2024 Creative Photo Awards has announced its nominees across seven diverse categories. Organized by the Siena Awards, the international fine art photography contest attracted 4,193 entries from photographers in 135 countries. From artistic portraits to creative wildlife imagery, the finalists represent the best of fine art photography.

After evaluating the entries, the expert jury whittled the images down to five finalists in each of the seven categories—Animals/Pets, Architecture, People, Nature & Landscape, Fine Art, Series, and Open Theme. In late September, the winners will be announced in a special ceremony held in Siena, Italy.
