FAQs

Can AI software be used on submitted images?

Use of AI image generation software to create or augment images for entry into the Award is strictly prohibited. This includes the addition of AI-generated elements into an image shot originally on a camera, and the extension of an image beyond its original boundaries using AI generative fill tools. 

Can my submitted images have a logo or watermark on them?

No. All submitted images must be free of watermarks, text, copyright symbols, logos and frames. Inclusion of any of these or similar additions to the image will invalidate the entry.

What information should I include with each image?

It is essential that submitted images include an image title, and additional information that will assist the Jury in making their decisions (especially the name of the species represented and the exact location of the photo). When uploading images there will be the opportunity to add a title and description to each image.

How is the ‘Environmental Photographer of the Year’ decided?

The grand prize and title of Environmental Photographer of the Year 2024 will be awarded to one of the 5 category winners. This image will have been assessed by the award, through an anonymous Jury voting procedure, to be the best image submitted this year.
