How Were the Winners Decided?
Every entry started the same way — earning a community score from the people who looked and voted. Those scores built the Top 100 shortlist. Then our jury joined in, and the final placements were set the way we promised: jury evaluation (80%) + your community votes (20%). So the Top 3 below carry both the eye of the craft and the voice of the community that championed them.

What Every Winner Receives
Every winner walks away with more than a title. Each earns the Winner / Runner-Up title to carry on their profile, website, and client pitches, plus a WallMag Creator Magazine feature matched to their rank — a Cover Story for our Photographer of the Year, a Featured Interview for the Runner-Up, and a Spotlight Q&A for the Second Runner-Up. On top of that: a verifiable digital certificate, a hero feature across WallMag's channels, introductions into WallMag's wedding-industry network — styled shoots, referrals, and collaborations — and ₹5,000 in partner-brand perks. Recognition you can show a client, and doors you can actually walk through.
