CIWEM’s Environmental Photographer of the Year is an international showcase for the very best in environmental photography, honouring amateur and professional photographers who use their ability to raise awareness of environmental and social issues.
EPOTY encourages images of places and people that are benefitting from a changing climate, or vulnerable ecosystems and communities that are struggling with the effects. Images examine the relationship between economic development, environmental degradation and social inequity, celebrate innovations helping us achieve environmental improvements, examine lifestyles, cultural traditions, spiritual activities and racial prejudices, and celebrate the incredible variety and beauty that exists within our natural environment.

Judging criteria:

- Creativity - is it unusual, thoughtful, beautiful, subversive or ironic?
- Originality – is the subject treated differently, and is the subject matter new?
- Composition - consider the perspective, balance, clarity of meaning and focus of statement
- Technical Quality - consider clarity, focus, lighting, exposure, and colour
