The ND Awards have become a global benchmark for landscape photography, welcoming both seasoned professionals and rising talents from over 100 countries. Each edition draws thousands of entries that vie for the prestigious “ND Photographer of the Year” title and a prize pool exceeding $10,000. Curators, editors, and celebrated image-makers judge six main genres, yet the Landscape category consistently steals the spotlight.
Winning portfolios reveal pastel dawns above Icelandic highlands, electric storms stroking Patagonian peaks, and aerial abstractions of serpentine rivers. Judges commend these images for marrying flawless composition with environmental awareness—echoing the competition’s mission to celebrate beauty while inspiring conservation.
