Environmental Photographer of the Year 2009 competition

Posted on14th April, 2009

CIWEM (The Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management)
runs the Environmental Photographer of the Year, which is one of the
fastest growing photographic competitions in the world. In
2008 we received over 1,400 entries from over 40 countries we are
hoping to increase this in the 2009 competition.

This is a serious competition that seeks to celebrate photographers
who use their ability to raise awareness of environmental and social
issues . It is open to all professional and amateur international
photographers of any ages. This year’s categories are:
Changing Climates
A World of Difference
Quality of Life
The Natural World
and the Young Environmental Photographer of the Year (Under 21).
EPOTY encourages entries that are contemporary, creative, experimental,
resonant, original and beautiful.

The judging panel is made up of some of the most respected
environmental photographers in the industry, including Gary Braasch,
winner of the Ansel Adams Award for Conservation Photography, as well
as senior environmentalists. Individual pieces of work will be judged
on impact, creativity, composition, originality and technical
abilities. Winners receive cash prizes, and all winning and highly
commended entries are displayed in the international Environmental
Photographer of the Year exhibitions. Copyright is retained by the
photographer (see terms and conditions at www.ciwem.org/arts/photographer).
