Discover the Beauty and Power of the Natural World

Welcome to the 5th edition of the Great Photo Awards. This year, we invite photographers from every corner of the world to focus on the breathtaking wonders of our planet. Under the theme “World of Nature,” the competition celebrates the richness, diversity, and vulnerability of the natural world, from grand landscapes and flowing waters to the hidden lives of birds, wildlife, and the microscopic marvels of nature.

This edition invites entries that capture the awe-inspiring presence of nature: the unknown lives of animals in the wild, the elegance of birds in flight or stillness, the poetic essence of rivers, lakes, and seas, and the untouched majesty of Earth’s landscapes. We also encourage images that reveal nature’s tiniest details, patterns, textures, and creatures that often go unseen.

Whether through dramatic scenes or quiet moments, your photos should celebrate nature’s poetry, mystery, and resilience, reminding us of what we stand to protect and admire.

Photos can be in Color or Black & White. Each entry should reflect the core spirit of “World of Nature” by revealing the depth and complexity of the natural world through one of the following five categories:

Wildlife | Birds | Water  | Landscapes | Macros

Join us in this visual tribute to nature and share your unique perspective in one of the most inspiring international photo competitions of the year.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the 5th Great Photo Awards: “World of Nature”! Submissions are now closed. The winning photographs will be exhibited as part of Image+Tech Expo & Photovision 2026 in Athens, March 13 – 15, and featured in the May issue of PHOTOgraphos magazine. Stay tuned for the results!
