10 of the most photogenic dogs of 2024 - full list




Founded by professional photographers Audrey Bellot and Claudio Piccoli, the Dog Photography Awards is dedicated to showcasing the work of talented photo artists.

Each year, there's a global competition for the most exceptional dog photographs – and this year there were more than 1,700 submissions from over 60 countries.

While the entry is open to any adult (although this year's competition is now closed), there is a reward of €500 (£400) in cash and an engraved trophy for each of the winners.

Capturing the beauty and spirit of man's best friend, the winners of the Dog Photography Awards were selected by an esteemed panel of judges.

The judges included renowned photographers, dog experts, and industry professionals, including the likes of photographers Emilio Cuenca, Sanna Sander, and Caroline Gea.

1st place in category: Documentary

Greenlandic Flat Tire

Photographer: John Fabiano

"This photo was taken while travelling through a blizzard from Siorapaluk, the northernmost indigenous village in the world, to Qaanaaq, Greenland.

"We did not have a GPS, cell service, or the ability to communicate more than a few words in English," said Fabiano. 

"Our protection if we were to run into a polar bear was a rifle from 1940 and the fight within our 13 Greenlandic Huskies.

"We had to stop so my guide, Ilannguaq, could untangle the sled ropes. The dogs watched on and patiently waited until they could get back to doing their favourite thing in the world - running."

2nd place in category: Documentary

Safe

Photographer: An Di Prima

"This is Santos, a podenco rescued by Hope For Podencos. I visited them in Albacete, Spain, as part of my book project on Podencos," said Prima.

"Podencos are a horribly abused hunting dog breed in Spain. Every year, after the hunting season ends, thousands get dumped, and a few lucky ones are saved by rescue organisations such as Hope For Podencos.

"With my photography, I try to help as much as I can: together, we are stronger!"
