Earth Photo entries

Earth Photo invites photographers and filmmakers from around the world to enter images and/or short films. Discover the latest and past winners.

Forestry England, Parker Harris and the Society developed Earth Photo in partnership in 2018 to ask photographers and filmmakers from around the world to submit their images and/or short films.

Since then, Earth Photo has organised exhibitions, awards and events to recognise still and moving images that tell stories about our planet, its beauty and its fragilities.
