2022 Photo of the Year nominees

These are the finalist nominees for Journalism the 2022 JJA Jazz Awards. Nominees in most categories were chosen by the votes of the Professional Journalist members of the Jazz Journalists Association. Nominations were made on the basis of work done in calendar year 2021, with the exception of Lifetime Achievement/Career Achievement Awards categories, in which nominations are for a lifetime body of work. Members and others were able to submit their own work for consideration in the Photo of the Year category; a committee of JJA members chose the nominees in that category from among the submissions. Nominees for Book of the Year and Album Art of the Year were also pre-screened by committees.
