If you’re joining us for the online KelbyOne Lightroom Conference (May 4–6, 2026), don’t miss your chance to be part of the community in a whole new way. The Lightroom Conference Photography Contest is officially open, and we can’t wait to see what you create.
To give you a little inspiration, we’re sharing some of last year’s finalists and our Grand Prize winner. The range of styles, subjects, and edits was incredible—and that’s what makes this so fun. There’s no single “right” look. It’s all about your vision and how you bring it to life in Lightroom.
Winner: Elizabeth M. Ruggiero
Finalist: David Gulbrandson
Finalist: Ellen Lee
Finalist: Mette Klint
Finalist: Shannon Wood
How to Enter
It’s simple:
- Choose a photo you’re proud of
- Edit it in Lightroom (keep it subtle or go all in)
- Submit your final image
That’s it. You’ll be in the running for the Grand Prize, sponsor prizes, and a featured spot in the conference gallery.
Who Can Enter
The only requirement is that you’re a registered attendee of the online Lightroom Conference. Once you’re in, you’re eligible to submit.
Deadline
Be sure to get your entry in by Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. Enter the contest here.
