Stories from a changing world.
We are looking for photographs that capture our relationship with the changing planet: how we inhabit it, how we transform it and how we depend on it.
With every photograph, we understand how to interpret the world, and our footprint on it.
The environment changes faster than we can capture. Still, we inhabit, transform and depend on it. The Climate Photo Award seeks photographs that confront viewers with their relationship to the natural world — including themselves.
Anyone over 18, from anywhere in the world. Professional or amateur, all are welcome.
