“Great landscape photography requires a great deal of patience—patience for the right season, the right weather, and the right light,” chairman of judges Peter Eastway said. “It also takes perseverance because rarely will the season, weather, and light work together in ways that inspire us ... And that’s why to be a successful landscape photographer, you also need determination to see your projects through.”
The International Landscape Photographer of the Year award received over 3,600 entries from amateur and professional photographers alike, competing to be awarded International Landscape Photo of the Year, for single images, and International Landscape Photographer of the Year, for a portfolio of work.
