Living Planet Photography Competition

Entries are invited that capture the glory of everything that is natural and bright in our stunning world.

The theme of this month's competition is 'Living Planet'. We all have one thing in common whether it be a bird or a killer whale. We all live in the same place Planet Earth.

We are looking for any images that depict the natural beauty of our home planet.

You may like to think of landscapes, seascapes, panoramas, underwater, waterfalls, wildlife, flowers, or whatever your creativity captures in this all embracing photographic competition. Your images can depict any element of our natural world, though remember that our judges will be looking not only for a strong and interesting narrative but also the highest technical skills.

Remember the weather can play an important role in your creations, by introducing atmosphere and drama. 

We encourage every creative photographer to enter this competition and share their talents amongst our passionate community. 

Finally presentation can give your images that finishing touch so consider putting a border around the image and use a post-production to give your images that little extra 

So what are you waiting for? Get entering...
