Winning a photography competition is part skill and part luck. Skill and artistry are required for obvious reasons, but to be considered the very best from a cast of thousands comes down to what the judging panel 'likes'. There's nothing wrong with this approach - we all like the chance to be winners - but it's also why we celebrate the Top 101 landscape photographs, not just first, second and third. Within a portfolio of 101 photographs, judges can reward a wide range of images, from single captures to imaginative composites. We don't believe it's up to us to limit what photographers can and can't do - as long as it is photography. Send us your best work and let our judges decide whether you deserve a page in the top 101 landscape photographs of the year. This is our twelfth year of the International Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards and the main aim of our Award is for you to have one or more of your entries accepted into the Top 101 landscape photographs of the year. This gives you a place in our exclusive book which is published online and can be purchased as a 'real' hard-cover paper publication as well. There is a total of US$12,500 in cash prizes, trophies and printed copies of the book for the major prize winners (see the rules for full details). Prizes: $12,500 cash prizes Eligibility: Worldwide, no age restrictions, professional or amateur, landscape photography Copyrights & Usage Rights: We acknowledge that the entrant retains full ownership of the copyright in each Entry.

When Henri Cartier-Bresson published The Decisive Moment in 1952, the result of a collaboration with a major arts publisher, he created a work that was as striking and singular in its quality as in what it represented: the affirmation of photography as an art form in its own right, beyond its documentary function. Henri Cartier-Bresson would go on to publish other influential books, a testament to his deep interest in the photography book as a work of art and a natural extension of the photographic act. In this spirit, the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson places great importance on the photobook, both through its programming and the richness of its bookshop. In 2025, the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson is launching the Henri Cartier-Bresson Self-Published PhotoBook Award, which is annually awarded to a self-published photography book released during that calendar year. With this award, the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson supports artists who produce and distribute books independently, outside traditional publishing networks and furthers its mission to champion contemporary photographic creation. Prizes: Selected by a jury composed of five professionals from the fields of photography and publishing, the winner of the Henri Cartier-Bresson Self-Published PhotoBook Award will receive a prize of €8,000. The winner is invited to participate in a “Feuilletage”, a public program during which a photographer reflects on the creation of one of their books, discussing the image selection, layout choices and sequencing. The winning book, as well as those of the shortlisted candidates, will be featured as part of a weekend event honouring the art of self-published photobooks. Eligibility: The Henri Cartier-Bresson Self-Published PhotoBook Award is open to any individual or collective of any age and nationality who has self-published a photography book Copyrights & Usage Rights: Each copy submitted will become the property of the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson and will not be returned. These books will be available for consultation during a dedicated event at the Fondation.

You are invited to enter the 12th annual B&W photography awards. The connection of Black and White Photography with tradition and timeless values is beyond contestation. Since its infancy, black and white photography was not only the craft but primarily the art, where ideas conjured in the artist’s imagination is immortalized through the lens of their camera. Over a dozen categories allow entrants to specify definitions of photographic specializations and their large diversity allows adequate representation of photographers in several key areas. As a pillar and cradle of photography, Black and White photography is evidently a product of a great tradition. It requires experience, ability to discern dependencies and subtleties of tone, and most of all, imagination. Our mission is to search for talent while promoting photographers, both professionals and amateurs alike, to present their work among the best monochrome photographers on earth. In addition to the financial rewards, our winners also get full support in the area of promotion and furthering down one’s career path. Prizes: - Monochrome Photographer of the Year: $2000 cash - Monochrome Discovery of the Year: $1000 cash - The work of the first, second and third place winners (together with further entries that the judges feel are worthy of commendation) from both the professional and amateur categories will be published in the Monochrome Photography Awards annual book.
