Focus for Survival is a celebration of Mother Nature through photography. This free-to-enter Focus for Survival photographic competition offers the chance for a wide audience to be inspired by your image of the natural world.

Eligibility

Open to all

By sharing the story of your image you’ll be helping to raise awareness about the importance of the natural world.

The competition is an opportunity for the photographer to raise their profile and support frontline conservation projects. In 2022 we had images featured in The Daily Telegraph and Travel Africa Magazine. In 2021 two of our finalists, Sam Wallace and Celia Kujala, had their images exhibited in the Blue Zone of COP26 in Glasgow.

Your image should feature the natural world and have some relevance to the central theme of nature conservation  (please see Q&A ‘Can my photo be of anything?’ for further details);
