Artem Shestakov Proudly Walks Away Victorious in the 2022 MUSE Photography Awards

Artem Shestakov took the MUSE as the Category Winner of the Gold Award.

The 2022 MUSE Photography Awards draws to a close and announces the list of official winners to the public. The award program honors recognize and promote outstanding photographers worldwide who continue to push the boundaries of the ever-thriving visual medium through the lens of their cameras and telling stories that will live on for decades to come.

This year, Artem Shestakov decidedly takes the MUSE (Category Winner of the Gold Award) within the awards. The winning image was taken by Artem Shestakov for the State of Alaska Tourism Office.

While talking to the media Artem was quoted saying, “Winning an award doesn’t have a direct impact on my career, but it always encourages me to give the best of myself and keep doing the best of what I can to create breathtaking photography.”

The MUSE Photography Awards program caters to photographers from all walks of life, regardless if they are professionals, agencies, amateurs, or students. With that, the International Awards Associate (IAA) hopes to honor and celebrate inspiring photographs which transcend the barriers of language; from architecture to black and white, commercial, editorial, event, fine art, nature, people, and so on. 

“The MUSE Photography Awards encourages international participants to compete at a global level and tell their side of their story,” said Thomas Brandt, spokesperson of IAA. “We honor the individuals from around the world to push themselves to the limit and discover once-in-a-lifetime moments, archiving it for all to see while sharing their photographic works with everyone that otherwise cannot be seen through our naked eyes.”

In 2022, we saw participation from more than 50 countries worldwide, including the United States, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Australia, Norway, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Japan, Romania, to name a few, and over 3,500 entries were submitted, but only a few emerged victoriously. With multitudinous entries, the MUSE Photography Awards has ranked them, via blind judging, in accordance with the industry’s best standards, based on the creative messages and nuances behind each photograph. Winners were then selected based on their ability to meet the competition’s criteria.

Grand Jury Panel

Impartiality and strict assessment criteria are imposed by IAA by setting up a jury comprised of industry-leading professionals and veterans who have proven to exhibit the highest standards of excellence in photography. The jury selects exceptional participants and their photographs who have exceeded their expectations and set industry benchmarks. These esteemed judges include industry-leading titans in the photography world such as José Martinez Silva (Portugal), Jarvis Grant (United States), Patrizia Burra (Italy), Remi Masson (France), and many more.

“Our esteemed group of judges are always eager to be impressed once again to see the bar of creative narrative to be raised even higher than before,” Thomas Brandt remarked. “Here at MUSE, we want to share with the world that there is more to it in a still image that they cannot learn from any other source of information, and we want to keep pushing the narrative potential and possibility of telling their story in the most effective way possible.”
