The Wait is Over: The TUPOTY 2025 Winners Are Here!
The votes have been counted, the judges have deliberated, and the results of our inaugural Thumbs Up Photographer of the Year competition are finally official.
Our goal for this first year was simple: find the single best photograph of 2025. No themes, no restrictions—just incredible imagery.
Our team had the difficult task of narrowing the field down to a Top 10, representing the very best of the year. From there, we handed the decision over to the team at DxO, makers of industry-leading photo editing software, to select the final podium.
They have chosen a Grand Prize winner, along with a 2nd and 3rd place.
Who took the crown in our first-ever event?
