The Landscape Awards: Top 20s 2023-26

An astro photograph of rare beauty, a unique take on a well-known seascape, a compelling abstract aerial and a striking reflection captured inside a Melbourne building rose to the top of their respective categories, highlighting the creativity and diversity of work being produced across Australia and New Zealand. The Landscape Awards continues to grow, with more than 2,000 entries submitted in 2026 and a prize pool valued at over $22,000. We’re also proud to continue supporting conservation through the competition. This year, we chose The Wilderness Society as our charity partner, with more than $4,600 raised through your entries in the competition.

A monster storm bearing down on a tiny woolshed, a seascape scene in a truly jaw-dropping location, a beautiful abstract aerial, and an atmospheric long exposure shared the honours in Landscape Awards 2025. Our third year was the biggest yet for The Landscape Awards with more than 2,500 entries received from photographers in Australia and New Zealand. In addition, the competition raised over $5,000 for our charity partner, the Australian Conservation Foundation, taking the total fundraising raised by our competition entrants to over $25,000 in the last three years – an amazing result.
