2014 and 2015 saw the first years of the competition, and were a great success with images entered from around the world, culminating in stunning collections of the top 101 images for each year. The collections were published in beautiful coffee table books by Momento Pro.
In this third year of the competition, ILPOTY is again very pleased to have the depth and judging experience of five of the world’s best photographers and industry professionals.

In choosing such a high calibre of judges, the competition aims to set the gold standard and become the best landscape photography competition in the world by attracting the most exceptional images being created globally, each year.
