How to shoot architecture with a mobile phone?List of the winners of the 13th World Mobile Phone Photography Contest

The Mobile Photography Awards (MPA), together with the iPhone Photography Contest, has always been favored by many mobile photography enthusiasts as the longest-running competition for photos taken and edited on mobile phones and tablets.

The award was first held in 2011, and in addition to the annual competition (October-December), there will also be themed exhibitions and international open calls throughout the year. MPA's annual winners are selected by a jury of photography professionals, journalists, teachers, artists, and leaders in photography, mobile photography, and the arts. The awards are divided into 14 categories, including "Architecture/Still Life", "Natural Landscape/Wildlife", "Portrait", "Street Photography" and many more.

If legendary street photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson said that "our first 10,000 photos will be our worst" is true, then it's safe to say that mobile photography gives people a historic opportunity to practice more, to progress, to surpass, and to reach our 10,001st photo sooner. The MPA is a showcase for photographers and artists who embraced this defining moment.

The winners of the 13th MPA 2023 were announced last month, so let's take a look at the winners in the "Architecture" category.
