Real And Wild – RAW Photography Awards

A nature photography competition celebrating wildlife and wild moments found close to home rather than through distant expeditions.

RAW is an inaugural 2026 nature photography competition open to everyone in the world, encouraging photographers to document wildlife and nature within 100 km of home rather than relying on long-distance travel. It rewards close observation of everyday encounters with nature — from urban wildlife to overlooked ecosystems — across categories including aerial, cityscapes, environmental, macro, landscape, seascapes, street, urban, and wildlife photography. Photographers retain all copyright and usage rights to their images.
