Details

Applications are open for European Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2021. The European Wildlife Photographer of the Year aims to illustrate the high quality and specific style of European wildlife photography through excellent pictures from Europe and all over the world. It also seeks to promote awareness for nature conservation through the means of photography.

All award-winning images will be shown as large-format prints in an exhibition that will have its premiere at the International Nature Photography Festival in Lünen (29 to 31 October 2021) and will then be presented to millions of visitors in museums, galleries and at festivals in Germany and throughout Europe for several years. A presence on the GDT website, its social media channels, a high-quality exhibition catalog, and an international press campaign contribute to the broad visibility of the award-winning photographers and their images.
