Get ready to be blown away by pure visual magic. The 2025 Epson International Pano Awards has just revealed its stunning award-winning photos, and they’re nothing short of jaw-dropping. These breathtaking images capture our planet’s raw beauty — from glowing desert horizons and misty mountains to dreamlike coastal skies that look straight out of another world.
The Epson International Pano Awards, established back in 2010, has become the world’s largest competition dedicated entirely to the craft of panoramic photography. Each year, it celebrates photographers who push the boundaries of scale, perspective, and storytelling through sweeping, cinematic frames. This year’s winners prove that panoramic photography isn’t just about width — it’s about emotion, patience, and creative vision.
Leading the pack, Alex Wides from Italy took home the title of 2025 Open Photographer of the Year, earning global recognition for his spectacular, detail-rich landscapes that blend technical precision with raw poetic beauty. His winning panorama feels like a love letter to the Earth — every pixel echoing passion, skill, and soul.
These photos from the Landscape category showcase the art form at its finest — wild, grand, and emotionally charged. Whether it’s sunrise over the Dolomites or twilight across desert dunes, every shot reminds us why panoramic photography deserves its own spotlight.
And here’s the best part: entries for the 2026 Epson International Pano Awards are now open. So if you’ve got a camera and a dream, this might be your year to capture the world in a whole new way — one breathtaking panorama at a time.
