TThe UP Photo Awards 2022 is made up of a team that promotes online photo contests and is not linked with the administrative office of the University of the Philippines. We are a group of professionals who are working as consultants to create photos for a coffee-table book showing the University of the Philippines during the epidemic. As a solution, we want to democratize picture production by allowing anybody in the Philippines who appreciates photography to contribute.

The University of the Philippines Baguio, University of the Philippines Cebu, University of the Philippines Diliman, University of the Philippines Los Baos, University of the Philippines Manila, University of the Philippines Mindanao (in Davao City), University of the Philippines Visayas (in Miagao, Iloilo), and University of the Philippines Open University are among the universities competing for this photo award.

Filipinos are encouraged to send in any images taken on campus during the pandemic.

This timeline spans the period from March 15, 2020 to the present. A “Pre-Covid” category was also added, with images taken between January 1, 2019, and March 14, 2020.
