The 12th International Landscape Photographer of the Year

Winning a photography competition is part skill and part luck. Skill and artistry are required for obvious reasons, but to be considered the very best from a cast of thousands comes down to what the judging panel 'likes'. There's nothing wrong with this approach - we all like the chance to be winners - but it's also why we celebrate the Top 101 landscape photographs, not just first, second and third.

Within a portfolio of 101 photographs, judges can reward a wide range of images, from single captures to imaginative composites. We don't believe it's up to us to limit what photographers can and can't do - as long as it is photography. Send us your best work and let our judges decide whether you deserve a page in the top 101 landscape photographs of the year.

This is our twelfth year of the 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.

There is a total of US$12,500 in cash prizes, trophies and printed copies of the book for the major prize winners (see the rules for full details).
