When we enter nature, the world will also change. Our spirit has been sublimated, and the pressure of daily life is not that scary. We look for inspiration by observing things of all sizes: the scenery is as magnificent as epic, and there are also those tiny and wonderful things, such as the moss patterns on the rocks, the busy figures of ants and bees, and the ripples caused by birds passing through the lake... All the mysteries of nature are reflected in the heart through people's eyes.
Nature gives us different things and brings us different inspirations. Therefore, we hold an annual photography competition and hope that participants will share the meaning of nature in life.

This is what nature means to you and me!
On August 1, 2022, Nature Conservation Association (TNC) announced that the 2022 Global Photography Competition will begin to collect entries from now on. The deadline for submission is August 31, 2022 . There are several expected changes in the
22 photography competition. Based on the "Man and Nature" , "Landscape" , "Water" , "Wild Animals" groups last year, the two groups "Plant or Fungus" and "Climate" were added for the first time this year. As the climate crisis grows, the “Climate” category allows participating photographers to demonstrate the impact of climate change on global communities and ecosystems and demonstrate the urgency of continuing climate action. A panel of jury members, composed of famous judges, will select award-winning works, including renowned nature photographer Ami Vitale and YouTube star and wildlife educator Coyote Peterson.

The winners can go to Este Point Uruguay to watch the Extreme-E Uruguay -stop competition. In addition, there are also Guest Judge Choice Awards (selected by Ami Vitale) and Celebrity Choice Awards (selected by Coyote Peterson), the former with a $5,000 set of photography equipment and the latter with a $2,500 gift card and one-on-one online chat with Coyote.
