The Sixth Epson International Pano Awards is dedicated to the art of panoramic photography.
Advances in digital photography and editing software has resulted in a surge in the popularity of image stitching, especially in the panoramic format.

The Epson International Pano Awards showcases the work of panoramic photographers worldwide and is the largest competition for panoramic photography.
‘Over the years we have been delighted to see this world-class photographic competition grow to the
point where it now attracts thousands of entries from hundreds of photographers from around the world. Each year the photographs are more and more impressive and the outstanding quality of both image capture and print astounds me,’ said Craig Heckenberg, General Manager Business Division, Epson Australia. ‘Epson is very proud to continue our support of this global competition and, as always, we look forward to seeing this year’s entries and the winners for each category,’ said Craig.
The 2014 competition saw 3971 images submitted from 870 photographers in 54 countries.
