Summary
Robyn Jensen won the 2026 iPhone Photography Awards Grand Prix with a night photo of an erupting volcano in Guatemala shot on an iPhone 15 Pro.
The 19th annual competition also named Gellert Gombai first overall, Arnold Plotnick second and Catherine Wang third, spanning images made on devices from the iPhone X to the 16 Pro Max.
Category winners highlighted the range of winning work, from Barry Mayes's frost-covered car window in Abstract to Peter Crome's dog portrait in Animals and Krystal Rountree's beach scene in Children.
The results reinforce a theme seen across the awards: standout images came from both older and newer iPhones, putting emphasis on timing, composition and technique rather than the latest hardware.
