About the Awards
The Scottish Nature Photography Awards Photographic Competition was launched in 2010 to provide a platform to celebrate Scotland as a key destination for nature photographers and to acknowledge the excellence of the photographic work that is undertaken here through the award of the title of "Scottish Nature Photographer of the Year". The annual competition invites entries of images taken in Scotland by professional or amateur photographers from around the world.
One of our key objectives for the Scottish Nature Photography Awards is
to encourage and promote emerging talent. Our "Student Scottish
Nature Photographer of the Year" competition is open to students
over the age of 18 undertaking a Photography element in their further or
higher education course and our "Junior Scottish Nature Photographer
of the Year" title is open to young photographers
under 18 years of age.
