There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing your photos published alongside the world’s best. And the International Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards book is a real book – printed on paper and bound between hard covers, but of course, you can also see the wonderful flip-book presentations here on the website. Being published is a mark of success!
This is our seventh year of the International Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards and with the current global pandemic, we’re really interested to see what photographers enter. Your entries must have been captured after 1 January 2019 (so, within the last 20-odd months), but will the recent lock-down periods mean we’ll see more post-production? Who knows!
The main aim of our Award is to be one of the Top 101 landscape photographs of the year. This gives you a place in our exclusive book which is published online and can be purchased as a ‘real’ hard-cover paper publication as well (it’s proudly printed by Momento Pro).
There is US$10,000 in cash prizes for the top three photographs and top three photographers (requiring a portfolio of at least four entries), plus a printed copy of the book from Momento Pro. And there are five special subject prizes winning a print from Created For Life!
So, what’s the process? Your job is to impress our five judges, including last year’s winner Oleg Ershov. And entry is easy – just size your file to 4000-5000 pixels on the longest side, save it as a JPEG and upload it.
The Awards are open to all photographers, professional and amateur, around the world.
