Welcome to

The Natural Landscape Photography Awards!

The Natural Landscape Photography Awards (NLPA) 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. Our competition has implemented rules to level the playing field in landscape photography, while emphasizing and rewarding composition, originality, creativity, and field craft.

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

Inspirational Landscape Photography

Each year we produce a fine art coffee table book showcasing the amazing photographs submitted by our fantastic community of like-minded photographers. For a limited time, we are offering an eBook version of our Year 2 book for FREE so you can get a feel for what to expect.
