Welcome to NLPA!

The Natural Landscape Photography Awards is one of the most well-respected international landscape and nature photography competitions that exists. It was created to provide a platform for film and digital photographers to showcase their exceptional photography of the natural world, rewarding imagery that has been tastefully edited to represent nature as realistically as possible.

We open for entries on April 15th, and will close for entries at the end of May 31st.
