Our annual member competition offers the perfect opportunity to present your work. We encourage all members to showcase your unique perspectives and creative talents.
We look forward to receiving your entries and are excited to experience the diversity of nature photography through your eyes. Show us your world, share your stories and let's enjoy the beauty of nature together!

Valuable prizes await the overall winners as well as the first and second place winners in each category. The winning pictures will be exhibited for the first time at our membership meeting and then presented at the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation in Bonn. The exhibition will open there with a media-effective vernissage and then move on to the International Nature Photography Festival in Lünen, where a selection of the images will be on display.
All the images will also be published in an extensive photo series in the GDT Forum Naturfotografie magazine and on our website at www.gdtfoto.de. This competition also attracts a great deal of international interest from the public media.

Judging Panel

Our qualified jury of nature photographers will carefully review the entries and select the top ten works in each category during the main judging.
The GDT members will then vote from the jury selection in two rounds: the first round of voting (category rankings) will be online and open to all. For organizational and technical reasons, the second voting round (selection of the overall winner from all category winners) can unfortunately only take place live during the members' meeting.
