CIPA Flower Photo Contest "Eternal Flame""SELECTION" (selected photos) Photo Collection

Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA)

1

The total number of entries exceeded 2,600.
We were overwhelmed by the power of expression and the strength of feeling.
That was amazing!
Although we were confident in our approach based on the results of the CIPA
user survey, we had no idea that "flowers × photography" had attracted
everyone's attention to such an extent!
The ratio of applicants to the total number of applicants has jumped up high .
.The "SELECTION" includes the works of many people who unfortunately
did not make the cut this time, but we have selected the works thatsymbolize the "flowers × photography" of 2023.
Please take your time to look at each photo.
