'Dryness' by Chinmoy Biswas, 2018, 'Environmental Photographer of the Year'.

A photography competition which showcases the best environmental photography from around the world is searching for its next winners.

The 'Environmental Photographer of the Year 2019' competition is looking for photographers who have work that will inspire individuals and corporations around the world to take serious action towards being more sustainable and lowering their impact on the environment.

One image can change us.

A picture, a moment can change the way we feel. Change how we see ourselves. Change our understanding and change the rules. Provoke and change history.

MPB puts photo and video kit into more hands, more sustainably. Every month, visual storytellers sell more than 20,000 cameras and lenses to MPB. Choose used and get affordable access to kit that doesn’t cost the earth. Sell the kit you’re not using to MPB. Trade in for the kit you need to create. Buy used, spend less and get more. Buy. Sell. Trade. Create.

The competition welcomes entries from all over the world, it is free to enter, and each photographer can enter up to 10 photographs. 

"This year, the entry categories directly support the objectives of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in the hope that the powerful and emotive photographs will act as an instrument of change against poverty, inequality and environmental degradation," explains the competition organisers.
