Many of our planet’s treasures are being threatened – by climate change, over-development, pollution and other destructive human activities. From polar bears and tigers to whales and ocean coral; many of the things we cherish are endangered and disappearing.

Photography is one way to make sure our favorite things live on. Sumbit your favorite images of:

  • nature,
  • landscapes (urban or rural),
  • wildlife,
  • cultures,
  • conservation.

Deadline: 31/08/2010

As one of the largest photographic events existing today, The World Photography Awards (WPA), reach far beyond an awards programme for the still image. The WPA is a convergence of festival events, focused photographic agendas, exhibitions, awards schemes, student programmes and an industry-led gala evening ceremony which marks the pinnacle of the week-long event in April 2009.

The Sony World Photography Awards Gala and central exhibitions that support the awards’ nominees and honourees, occurs once a year in the prestigious Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France. The evening welcomes some of the most influential names in the photography industry, from press and media to gallerists, publishers, agents, critics, aficionados and the renowned artists themselves.

Deadline: 31 December 2008
