\u201cThis award is a huge motivation boost, and it inspires me to keep pushing myself, growing, and creating work that I\u2019m proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n
The competition, now in its 12th year, is recognised as one of the most respected international contests assessing the work of professional and amateur photographers. <\/p>\n
A prize pool of US$12,500 ($20,900) cash is shared among successful entrants finishing in the top three for individual photos, portfolios and for five special subject awards.<\/p>\n
The margins between a winning image and those who miss out are so fine that the ILPOTY includes the next 90 entries in an awards book, with those included scoring over 86.6%, according to chairman of judges Peter Eastway.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel I have seen a noticeable lift in the level of work submitted,\u201d Eastway said. \u201cNot just the Top 101, but the top 501. The work has been simply stellar.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eastway recognises that taking a single prize-winning image is challenging, creating four of them is more challenging still. <\/p>\n
The overall photographer of the year award was claimed this year by American J. Fritz Rumpf with a stunning collection of photographs themed around a wintery landscape.<\/p>\n
Judges for the competition are top-flight photographers and editors from across the globe: David Burnett, co-founder of Contact Press Images; Tim Parkin, editor of On Landscape magazine; Andrew Mielzynski, ILPOTY 2024 winner; Kaye Davis, NZIPP Grand Master of photography; and Jim M. Goldstein, fine art photographer and author.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you look at the photographs in this book, ask yourself if your landscape photographs are really good enough to sit alongside?,\u201d Eastway says in the foreword to the book. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe Top 101 landscape photographs in this book are better in one way or another: better technically, better aesthetically, or of a more exciting subject, location or event. Perhaps they are better in several ways – if I knew the ingredient that makes that difference, I\u2019d be a very smart person!\u201d<\/p>\n
