Details
Earth Photo 2023 invites submissions from still and moving image makers of all ages, from anywhere in the world, who have a compelling story to share about our planet.
Established in 2018 by Forestry England, the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) and Parker Harris, Earth Photo is a world-leading international programme dedicated to engaging with still and moving image makers. Its main objective is to reveal the narratives behind the pictures, encouraging conversations about our world, its peoples, environments, and the changing climate.
2023 brings some exciting changes for the open call.
● For the first time, the category for submissions is completely open. Earth Photo 2023 encourages practitioners of all ages to send their most compelling works.
● Earth Photo 2023 will be offering new awards, including £1,000 for an outstanding photography project; £200 and publication in an upcoming book with Forestry England and Cultureshock; £500 for a project that explores the impacts of climate change; and £250 each to one photographer and one moving image maker under the age of 25.
● A range of new collaborations with national and international arts organisations, including the Sidney Nolan Trust and Lishui International Photography Festival, will increase exposure and opportunities for practitioners and audiences.
Each year, Earth Photo organises an open call followed by an awards presentation, exhibitions, and events.
Earth Photo 2023 welcomes work that conveys the world around us and makes us think differently, capturing nature, people, place and space, forests, the land and seascapes, and the varied impacts of, and adaptations to, climate change.
Individuals and collectives are encouraged to submit up to 10 images, as singles or a series. Projects need to have been created within the last five years. In addition to photography, Earth Photo welcomes short films between five seconds and five minutes long.
Entry is by online submission, and the deadline is Tuesday 2 May 2023, 5PM (BST). An entry fee of £15 will be charged to each entrant for up to 10 images.
A longlist will be created by the Earth Photo team featuring the strongest submissions for the jury panel of industry experts to review and shortlist.
All entries that make the final Earth Photo 2023 Shortlist will be considered for the Earth Photo 2023 exhibitions, and a chance to receive one of the awards.
The entries will be considered by a jury made up of experts from the fields of photography, film, geography, and ecology, including distinguished curators, environmentalists, writers and artists.
Earth Photo gives photographers and videographers the opportunity to show their work to a prestigious panel of selectors, win prizes up to £1,000, and take part in the Earth Photo exhibitions:
● at the Royal Geographical Society, in London,
● in five Forestry England sites,
● with Sidney Nolan Trust, at The Rodd, Herefordshire,
and Lishui Photography Culture Centre, China.
Photographers and filmmakers are encouraged to take part in Earth Photo 2023 by entering online before Tuesday 2 May 2023, 5PM (BST).
