The light painting photography contest series is sponsored by the best damn companies on earth COAST Flashlights, Neon Flexible, LED Flexible,and Light Painting Brushes ! Please support these awesome companies that support our light painting art from, without them this contest series would not be possible!

One of the greatest things that I see happening in our Light Painting community right now is all of the collaborations from light painters around the world! From Jan Leonardo bringing Light Painting is a massive way to Photokina (the biggest photography show in the world, more to come on that soon…) and LPWA events being held in places like China, its all very exciting to see! A few months back The City of Oviedo, Spain hosted the 2016 Light Art Congress and they wanted to have the residents of the city participate in the Light Painting Art Form! Under the direction of Frodo Alvarez and Eduardo Cajigal nearly 1000 residents contributed to creating the massive light painting you see above that was designed by artist SFHIR! Check out the photo and video of the collaboration below, hopefully it will get you inspired to do something like this in your city and keep spreading the light!

Here are the winners for the 2016 International Light Painting Awards by Jan Leonardo!  A massive Thank You goes out to Jan Leonardo for organizing another great Light Painting competition with prizes valued at over $10,000.00 going out to all of these talented artist for their winning images!
