INSTAGRAM photographers have captured everything from a Maasai tribeswoman to a beautiful sunset for a photo competition.
The 2019 Photobox Instagram Photography Awards (PIPAs) have already received over 30,000 photos submitted in a week, and there’s still time to apply.

Last year the PIPAs established itself as one of the world’s most exciting photography competitions, and the largest of its kind on social media.
The public have until Sunday 1st September to submit photographs across 10 categories ranging from animals to abstract, family to fashion, landscape, drone, sport, portraiture and travel.
A top prize of £5000 will be awarded by an industry-leading panel of judges and influencers to the overall ‘Instagram Photograph of the Year’ winner, with an additional £500 awarded to each of the 10 individual category winners.
To enter the competition, simply tag your best photo/s #THEPIPAS2019 – alongside the category you wish to enter e.g. #thepipas2019 #sport.
