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
