From breathtaking landscapes and arial photography to evocative snapshots of the Black Lives Matter marches; intimate family moments and impressive wildlife shots, the variance of images speaks to wide-ranging human experience, each image expressing the environment and society in which we live.

Viewers can vote in-person or online for their favourite images for the People’s Choice Award, and the winners will be announced in October, including the overall award for Photographer of the Year.
