Categories

People and culture
From customs to people in their environment, your photograph should capture the essence of people from across the globe.

Travel
We want to see images that depict your travel adventures – either a destination or form of transport.

Wildlife
From deepest Africa to your back garden, your photograph should capture animals in the wild or animal conservation efforts.

Environmental issues
Renewable energy, polluted cities – we want to see humanity’s effect on the environment, as well as attempts to conserve it.

Landscape
Show us the wonders of the natural world, from desert dunes to mighty forests.

Expeditions and fieldwork
Your photographs should show evidence of geographical fieldwork – aid work, teaching in schools and research.
