We’re pleased to announce the winners of the 2011 LensCulture Exposure Awards – the best in global photography and multimedia. The nine top winners and 25 honorable mention winners represent work from 14 countries.

This award-winning work was selected from entries that came in from 48 countries. The quality, and sheer amount of submissions, amazed (and almost overwhelmed) the members of our international jury.
