The International Pano Awards (also known as The EPSON International Pano Awards for sponsorship reasons) are an annual set of awards presented by Epson Australia to recognise and honour the professional and the amateur photographers for their excellent work in the genre of panoramic photography. it is often described as the "world's largest panoramic photography competition".[4][5]
History

The winners of the awards are selected by a panel of judges which mainly consists of eminent photographers from different countries. Jeff Mitchum, Karl Strand, Mark Handy, Mel Sinclair, Abe Blair, Juan Pablo de Miguel, Adam Williams, Anna Gibiskys, Isabella Tabacchi, Darren Moore, Thomas Erh, Aaron Spence and Bill Bailey are some notable photographers who have been part of this panel.[7]

Competition
[edit]The competition comprises of three main sections — Open, Amateur and VR/360, both the professional and amateur photographers are free to take part in the Open & the VR/360 sections.

The individuals with the highest combined score from their three photographs, all of which must place in the top-50 and at least one in the top-10, are declared the overall winners in the open and amateur sections.
