Irix Close-Up Contest
Enter the Irix Close-Up Contest and explore more details around you
Macro and close-up photography is unique and draws attention to the details that we don't notice on a daily basis. This type of photography is not just about small butterflies, insects, or eye-catching flora - it's more than that, it's also close-up photography that brings our focus to things that open our minds to a new perspective.
That's why we've decided to hold the Irix Close-Up Contest, which will trigger your attention to surrounding details and is limited only by your creativity. We decided, not to limit your creativity too, so you can take the contest photo with any lens and camera - from wide focal lengths to macro - you can even take a photo with your phone. There are no restrictions.
If you like macrophotography or close-up style, this is the contest for you. Among the submitted works, we will be looking for creative submissions that show close-ups of objects, animals, or people - the choice is yours. We also take into consideration the ethics of the photos you take in our contest, so keep in mind the ecosystem of insects and other creatures living in the natural environment if you decide to shoot outdoors with your camera. We'll also disqualify all photographs that were taken using methods like drugging or freezing small creatures in our contest. We believe you can make stunning photographs without harming the environment and animals.

Meet our awesome jury:
Marit van Ekelenburg (Macro by Marit) is a photographer who has been photographing the macro world since 2017. From amateur holiday snaps with a smartphone camera to the niche of extreme macro. Marit is excellent at paying attention to the details and beauty of the macro world, that's why we knew we needed her on our jury.
Pierre Escoubas known also as Riviera Macro is a biologist by training and a photographer by passion. Photography accompanies him during his scientific work, but his passion always draws him to the world of macro. It was clear that Pierre had to be on our jury, because we value him for his work and for his constant search for new frames in the field.
Álvaro Lamas is a photographer that you might know also as Lost In Woodlands. His talent for macrophotography was something we could witness during his enlightened mushrooms series, but Alvaro doesn't limit himself to macrophotography only. We think Álvaro will bring a lot of interesting insight when selecting the winners, thanks to his experience and appreciation of nature.
