The YPS International Salon 2026 successfully concluded its remote judging process, bringing together 7 eminent jury members from 5 countries in a seamless, well-coordinated evaluation.
Following the close of submissions, jurors were given secure access to the entries and independently assessed each image in accordance with Salon rules. Virtual meetings for each section were then held across multiple time zones to deliberate and decide on the award-winning photographs collectively. The jurors’ professionalism and adherence to the schedule ensured timely and transparent results.
The Salon Committee’s meticulous planning, technical support, and coordination, along with the contributions of the webmaster and creative team, were key to the smooth execution of the process.
The remote judging model, which was first introduced in 2023, continues to thrive without compromising quality. In the context of International Salons, where we have juries from various parts of the world on the panel, this model provides a win-win situation for both the participants as well as the organizers.
The winning images will soon be showcased in the YPS International Salon 2026 exhibition, celebrating diversity, creativity, and photographic excellence.
