Summer Image Contest Winners

Summer Image Contest Winners

Summer Photo Contest

This summer, photographers from around the world picked up their Lensbaby lenses and creative tools and showed us what extraordinary looks like through their eyes.


With over 350 entries, we were blown away by the creativity, experimentation, and unique perspectives in this year’s summer contest. From dreamy and ethereal to bold and unexpected, every image reminded us just how many ways there are to see the world through a Lensbaby.


And, of course, we had some pretty exciting creative tools to give away! Our winners took home Lensbaby gear designed to help photographers keep experimenting, pushing their creativity, and making images that are uniquely their own — including the Velvet trio, Composer Pro II with Sweet 80 and Edge 80, and the OMNI Collection. We also awarded $2,500 in Lensbaby gift cards to honorable mentions and additional prize winners.


Thank you to everyone who entered, shared their work, and helped make this contest such a celebration of creativity. We loved seeing what you created!


Now, let's meet this year's winners. 👇
