This is our thirteenth International Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards and the main aim of our Award is for you to have one or more of your entries accepted into 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.

So, what's the process? Your job is to impress our five judges, including last year's winner J. Fritz Rumpf. And the entry process is easy - just size your photo to 4000-5000 pixels on the longest side, save it as a JPEG/JPG and upload it. The entry fee remains unchanged at US$25 per image, and if you enter by 24 October 2026, every fifth entry is free. Final entries are accepted until 31 October 2026.

When the competition closes, our judges will use calibrated monitors to judge each photograph, giving it a score out of 100. Judges can open each and every entry and view it pixel for pixel on their monitor if required - and this is invariably done before they give their higher scores. Technique and craft are just as important as creativity for the top awards. And importantly, every entry is assessed by all five of our judges.
