Celebrating the world’s best nature photographers, as they highlight the wonders of our planet

When great science and great art combine, amazing things can be achieved. That’s the philosophy behind the World Nature Photography Awards, a global nature and wildlife photography contest for planet Earth.

Our vision is of a planet in which climate change has been reversed and man’s relationship with the planet shifts to be one of protection rather than plunder.

We believe in the power of photography to put a spotlight on the majesty and wonder of the natural world around us, reminding us to take action now to secure a better tomorrow for us all.

The mission of the World Nature Photography Awards is to celebrate the world’s best nature photographers whilst showcasing nature’s beauty to a wider audience. And, what’s more, to show our commitment to the planet, we plant a tree every time someone enters the competition.

$1000 PRIZE

The highest scoring photographer across all categories in the competition not only wins the title of World Nature Photographer of the Year but also takes home a cash prize of $1000.

2021 WINNERS

Whilst the news headlines continued to be dominated by Covid in 2021, the future of our planet was still on many people’s agenda, especially with COP returning to the world stage.

And this year, our winners’ images will continue to remind millions of people around the world of the beauty of our precious home. Take a look at their amazing work here, including the work of our World Nature Photographer of the Year, Amos Nachoum.
