November 7, 2024 – DJI and SkyPixel, the world’s largest online aerial photography community, will hold the 10th SkyPixel Photo & Video Contest from November 7, 2024 to February 10, 2025. This contest, which is held every year, conveys the evolution of aerial photography over the past 10 years, and on the community site, you can see the unique visual expressions of various creators, receiving high praise from more people. As part of this evolution, we are adding a ‘Handheld’ category for the first time this year to accommodate the growing number of people using handheld cameras to showcase their talents. We’re also celebrating the creativity of the entries by offering a value-matched prize package totaling over $170,000. “They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and for 10 years, the SkyPixel Photo & Video Contest has been celebrating photographers and videographers from around the world who have captured and shared their unique perspectives on beauty. We are very proud to be able to present these awards to these people,” said Ferdinand Wolf, creative director at DJI. “The SkyPixel platform continues to be a community that inspires imagination, defines new visual aesthetics, and embraces the diverse experiences of individuals and communities around the world.” 10 years of celebrating creativity Founded in 2014, SkyPixel is the world’s leading community celebrating the great stories that define the visual aesthetic of photography.

No matter what tool you use, whether it’s a handheld DJI camera like the Osmo or Ronin series, or DJI’s versatile drones that allow anyone to capture aerial
cinematographer-like footage, the scale of these submissions and the community’s reach is important. The engagement shows that through the extraordinary creativity of the DJI community and DJI technology, anyone around the world can capture cinematic moments in their own unique way.
