Spectacular Winning Photos From The Nature Photography Contest 2023

Photography Of The Year: Sea Lion in Los Islotes by Glenn Ostle

The first Nature Photography Contest, held in 2023, has recently announced its winners, showcasing the talents of photographers dedicated to capturing the planet’s beauty. This event not only celebrates artistic skill but also awards a total of €2,000 in cash prizes, equivalent to over $2,000 USD.

Marking a meeting point of art and environmental awareness, this photography contest has become a significant platform for those valuing the synergy between photography and nature. The contest revealed its winners two months post-submission deadline, signaling its potential for future growth and influence.

Key awards included Glenn Ostle winning the Photography of the Year with a €1,000 prize. Alain Schroeder was named Photographer of the Year and will contribute to ecological efforts by selecting a country for planting about 400 trees in collaboration with One Tree Planted. This tree count reflects this year’s contest participation, a benchmark that the organizers hope to exceed in future editions to amplify their impact on global conservation.
