World Nature Photography Awards 2022

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.

This are 14 categories within the WNPA, so there’s plenty of opportunity to share your wonderful work. From landscape photography, to animals in their habitats, photojournalism and humans’ interaction with nature, the stage is set for you to share your vision of the natural world with us.
