CATEGORIES
There are two categories in Wilderness Photographer of the Year, Places and People.
PLACES: Panoramas and dramatic horizons, spectacular coastlines, photogenic mountains and inspiring wilderness scenes! In this category your images should not include people in the frame.
PEOPLE: Your best wilderness photos with people in the frame – the ones you meet on the trail, the rangers and wardens, the guides and the friends that share your adventures here and overseas.
