Earth Photo award ceremony

Join us for a special evening at the Society celebrating the power of photography to tell the story of our planet at the Earth Photo awards ceremony 2026.

Now more than ever, photography and film shape how we see the world around us. From the effects of climate change and biodiversity loss to powerful acts of restoration, resilience and hope, Earth Photo celebrates the power of image-making to inspire reflection, conversation and change.

The exhibition of shortlisted works will be open to view from 6.00pm, offering you the opportunity to view this year’s compelling works ahead of the ceremony at 7.00pm.

We are delighted to welcome renowned naturalist and broadcaster Chris Packham, who will deliver a keynote address and present the winner of this year’s Earth Photo Award, the competition’s highest award.
