The world looks different from above — more graphic, more abstract, more unexpected.
In Top View: Drone Photography Contest, we invite photographers to explore the beauty of the earth from a higher perspective, revealing patterns, shapes, lines, textures, and stories that can only be seen from the sky.
From coastlines, roads, rivers, forests, and fields to city blocks, rooftops, beaches, and people in motion, drone photography transforms ordinary scenes into striking visual compositions. Show us how altitude changes the way we see the world.
We welcome landscapes, urban scenes, architecture, travel moments, abstract aerial compositions, and creative top-down perspectives. Color or black & white images are accepted, as long as the image is captured from a drone and the aerial viewpoint is central to the photograph.
What We’re Looking For
Aerial perspective — compelling images captured from above with a clear drone viewpoint
Patterns & geometry — shapes, symmetry, repetition, lines, and design revealed from the sky
Creative composition — strong framing, balance, and visual impact from a top-down angle
Landscape or urban storytelling — natural scenes, cityscapes, architecture, roads, beaches, water, and human presence
Original vision — fresh, surprising, or artistic interpretations of the world from above
Technical quality — sharpness, clarity, clean editing, and polished presentation
