EARTH PHOTO

Now more than ever, photography has the power to draw attention to the challenges facing the natural world and our planet. 

Established in 2018, Earth Photo is a world leading international programme dedicated to engaging with still and moving image makers, working across all genres, on the prescient issues affecting our planet in order to stimulate conversations about our environment and the impact of climate change. 

Developed in partnership by Forestry England, Parker Harris and the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG), Earth Photo organises exhibitions, awards and events that celebrate photography and moving images that tell compelling stories about our planet, its inhabitants, its beauty, resilience and its fragility.

Each year, Earth Photo invites photographers and filmmakers from around the world to enter images and/or short films. With a high-profile jury of industry experts we will be inviting submissions from image makers based worldwide who have a compelling story to share about the environment, about nature, about people, forests, the landscape and the varied impacts of climate change.

Earth Photo 2025 selected shortlisted works will on show at the Royal Geographical Society, London, from 16 June 2025. A selection of shortlisted photos will be shown on a national tour to Forestry England sites: Bedgebury National Pinetum & Forest, Grizedale Forest, Moors Valley Country Park & Forest, Sherwood Pines, Wendover Woods, Dalby Forest, Alice Holt Forest, Haldon Forest Park
