Best Photo From Your Phone in 2022

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 17, 2023

Looking for the 2025 Best Photo submission link? Here it is!

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 900 photos! Our partners at Photoville, along with a special guest judge, documentary photographer and writer Laylah Amatullah Barrayn, picked out their favorites (check out their 'Top 50' gallery), and then Brian and the team selected three winners to present their photos on the air.

Brian speaks with Laylah Amatullah Barrayn and Photoville's creative director & co-founder Sam Barzilay 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 12th festival this year with a city-wide celebration in June. Click here to learn more about the festival, as well as this non-profit and their education and public programs.
