Categories

Photo Drone Awards starts with 4 categories. Four themes that will allow participating photographers to show all their skills in different fields.

There is no limit to the number of images that each photographer can send. You can enter as many categories as you want. So the more pictures you send, the more chances you have to win the coveted title of photographer of the year.
