Celebrating What Is Real

Verus Awards recognizes photographers who capture family life as it truly happens — real, unfiltered, and unforgettable.

Verus Awards is an international photography competition dedicated to family photography that is real — lived, unplanned, and impossible to recreate.

Each Edition, a panel of recognized photographers evaluates submissions across categories that span the full arc of family experience: Family, Motherhood, Mom-to-Be, Birth, Newborn, Children, Siblings, Ordinary Moments, Day in the Life.

Photographers whose work is recognized receive the Verus Awards seal – a numbered digital badge with a unique QR code that links directly to the awarded image on our official website.

Each winner also receives a numbered certificate, formally documenting the recognition for their professional portfolio.

The seal and the certificate are not decorations. They are a verifiable record that what the photographer captured actually happened – and that it was worth remembering.
