Submissions are open to artists working in any lens‑based media – still photography, video, or moving image – and may include up to ten works created within the last five years (earlier works are allowed for long‑term documentary projects).

Winners also receive promotion on the Earth Photo website and a Royal Geographical Society membership. Applications are submitted via the Earth Photo platform, and the deadline is 3 February 2027.
