The International Landscape Photographer of the Year 2023 title was awarded to Tony Hewitt for his abstract aerial captures of riverbeds in his native Australian landscape. The serene image of autumn birch trees reflected in a lake won Blake Randall International Landscape Photograph of the Year, a category awarded for a single image.
From over 4000 entries, the judging panel of photography experts had a demanding job selecting the top 101 landscape images of 2023, which are now available as an eBook. The competition now returning for the 10th time also announced winners in five special award categories, Black and White, Aerial, Snow and Ice, Seascape and Desert with results ranging from classic to contemporary approaches, and single captures to composites.
