Earth Photo 2027
Earth Photo is a partnership between the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG), Parker Harris and Photoworks that awards photography and moving-image work on the natural world, its peoples and environments, and the issues shaping a changing planet. The 2026 cycle closed on 4 March 2026; 160 shortlisted works by 33 photographers and filmmakers were shown at the RGS in London, where the winners were announced on 2 July 2026, before touring UK venues into 2027. Earth Photo 2027 is open for entries as of November 2026 and, unlike the GBP 15 fee of earlier cycles, free to enter. The closing date, jury and prizes had not been published on the organiser's pages by 7 November 2026.

Earth Photo accepts photography and short film work on environment and place themes. The organiser's public pages for 2026 and 2027 carry no rules on AI, manipulation or RAW files; the full entry terms sit inside the ArtOpps submission portal, which could not be read, so both fields stay unspecified. Check the portal for the closing date and the terms before entering.
