The Best Photo Sitting on Your Phone: 2021

NOTE: TO SUBMIT A PHOTO FOR THE 2023 'BEST PHOTO SITTING ON YOUR PHONE' PROJECT, CLICK HERE.

Every year, The Brian Lehrer Show asks you to submit the best photo you took that is sitting on your phone – and every year, you deliver with some truly impressive snaps! 

This year, you submitted over 700 photos. Our partners at Photoville, along with a special guest judge, New York Times photographer, Michelle Agins, picked out their 60 favorites (check out that gallery, here).

Brian speaks with Michelle Agins and Photoville's Dave Shelley about the three winning photos, which you can see below. Plus, hear the winning photographers talk about their submissions.

Partner's Note: Photoville will be celebrating it's 11th festival this year with a city-wide celebration in June. They will be announcing a call for proposals later this month. Click here to learn more about the festival, as well as this non-profit and their education and public programs.

Toni
by Ava Farkas

My aunt Toni was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2020 and succumbed to it this summer. I felt moved seeing her surrounded by the love and tenderness of my niece and cousins each time I visited.
