The World Eco Photo photo contest was founded in 2017 on the initiative of the Tyumen House of Photography. The international status was confirmed by the number of participating countries (63 in 2019 year).

Main objectives of the competition:
• not only show the beauty of landscapes, flora and fauna of the planet Earth, but also visualize current problems of ecology/environment, problems of conservation of rare and endangered species;
* develop in society the idea of personal involvement of everyone in the preservation of the environment and environmental protection activities.

The organizers are aware that creative competitions and exhibitions in a glossy form will not change the severity of these problems, but they are convinced that such projects become a point of growth of public initiatives, on the basis of which there are programs/projects of local and global significance, such as, for example, the “Genesis” of the great photographer of our time, Sebastian Salgado.
Since 2019, the competition’s Ambassador is the Director of the Bolshoi Tyumen Drama Theater Sergey Osintsev.
