Photo Contests

Each year, numerous photo contests focused on nature photography are organized worldwide. Some of these have a broad scope with multiple categories, while others are dedicated to a specific niche within photography.

Photographers represented by Nature in Stock regularly receive awards, and we are always excited to share their successes. To provide a clear overview, we have compiled a list of all the photography competitions we have previously highlighted on our blog, along with a brief explanation of their format and objectives.

GROENE CAMERA

The Groene Camera is an annual photo contest for Dutch and Belgian nature photographers. By limiting submissions to these two countries, the organization aims to create a level playing field so that photographers can measure their talent and creativity against each other.

The contest itself consists of three parts: Nature Photographer of the Year, Nature Photo of the Year, and Nature Talent of the Year. For the title of Nature Photographer of the Year, participants must submit a series of at least seven and at most nine images that together form a cohesive visual story.

The Nature Photo of the Year consists of several categories from which an overall winner is chosen: Landscape, Weather and Natural Phenomena, Mammals, Amphibians and Reptiles, Birds, Arthropods and Invertebrates, Plants and Fungi, Abstracts, and lastly, Black and White.
