We’re excited to share a glimpse into this year’s World Food Photography Awards sponsored by Bimi®, as the 2026 shortlist has just been revealed. Bringing together thousands of entries from over 50 countries, the competition once again highlights the incredible diversity and creativity found in food photography from around the world.
From growing and harvesting to cooking, eating, and celebrating, these images go far beyond what’s on the plate. They offer a powerful look into everyday life, culture, and tradition – captured through the universal language of food.
With an esteemed international judging panel led by renowned food photographer David Loftus, the competition continues to set the standard for visual storytelling in this field. The winners across 27 categories will be announced on June 2 in London, but for now, we invite you to explore some of the standout images that made it onto this year’s shortlist.
