Environmental Photographer of the Year
CALLING ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS. CIWEM’s Environmental Photographer of the Year
The Environmental Photographer of the Year competition is an international showcase for the very best in environmental photography and video. Honouring amateurs and professionals of all ages, it provides an opportunity for photographers to share images of environmental and social issues with international audiences, and to enhance our understanding of the causes, consequences and solutions to climate change and social inequality.
Selected from an open submission process, the competition culminates with an exhibition in London that displays an outstanding collection of environmental, social and natural photographs.
Entries are judged on impact, composition, originality and technical ability and previous entries have examined issues such as innovation, sustainable development, biodiversity, poverty, climate change, human rights, culture, natural disasters and population growth.
The Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) are delighted this year to announce a major partner for the competition, Atkins, one of the world’s leading engineering and design consultancies. Nick Reeves OBE, Executive Director of CIWEM says:
“CIWEM is delighted to be working with Atkins on the development of the Environmental Photographer of the Year Competition. With Atkins support and global reach the Institution can build on the success it has already achieved and carry important and exciting visual stories on the environment to a much bigger world-wide audience.”
Nick Roberts, Director Water & Environment Atkins comments:
“The powerful imagery generated by this global competition shows the durability and fragility of the world in which we live, and affirms the complex issues we face as a society. We are proud to be associated with this competition and to work with CIWEM to develop its reach and impact in the future.”
The selection panel for the 2012 competition will include Nick Reeves OBE, Executive Director CIWEM and Nick Roberts, Director Water & Environment Atkins. Additional selectors, specialists in the environmental and photographic fields, will be announced shortly.
