Earth PhotoEarth Photo is an innovative competition and exhibition developed jointly by Forestry England and the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) which reflects the organisations' common interest in enabling a better understanding of the world around us through our complementary disciplines of the Environment and Geography. Earth Photo will focus on photographs or films which describe one of the following subjects; People, Place, Nature, Changing Forests and A Climate of Change.
We believe that photography has a profound national and international influence and that a picture is worth a thousand words; images continue to influence public understanding of the world around us and convey meaning and emotion beyond the barriers of language.
Earth Photo's main objective is to reveal the story behind the pictures: informing, entertaining and engaging audiences of all kinds and encouraging conversations to begin about their subjects. Earth Photo will enable the viewer not only to appreciate a single or group sequence of images, but also to understand the 'back story' to a picture.
EXHIBITION
The Earth Photo exhibition will be open at the Royal Geographical Society, London between 17 June and 26 August 2022 and within the forests of Forestry England.
PRIZES
First Prize: A special prize will be awarded to one outstanding photographer.
Winners will also be selected for each of the categories and awarded £250 each:
People, Place, Nature, Changing Forests, A Climate of Change
A prize will also be awarded for a Short Film.
The overall Earth Photo 2022 Winner and all the other prize winners will be announced during the exhibition at the Royal Geographical Society, London. One of the world's finest collections of photography, artwork and mapping which records over 500 years of travel, people, place and geographical discovery from the 1480s to the present day.
