People’s Curator is a monthly, community-driven pathway into the Photo Mode Awards.
Each month, the spotlight lands on two official PMAs categories. Creators submit their work, the PMAs team curates a shortlist, and then the community takes over. A 24-hour public vote decides the winners.
If your photo wins its category, it doesn’t just get featured — it advances directly to PMAs judging as a finalist.
Community voting opens for 24 hours only. Once voting closes, results are final. Shortlists, voting times, and dates are announced alongside each monthly drop.
People’s Curator is fast, competitive, and all about momentum. It’s your chance to make an impact before the main awards — and let the community help push your work forward.
Each participant is allowed to submit one (1) photo per Category. For more info on how to enter, check our FAQ.
