The Environmental Photographer of the Year 2009 is a serious competition that celebrates photographers who use their ability to raise awareness of environmental and social issues. It is open to all professional and amateur international photographers of any ages. The categories are Changing Climates; A World of Difference; Quality of Life; The Natural World; and the Young Environmental Photographer of the Year (Under 21).

The judging panel is made up of some of the most respected environmental photographers in the industry, including Gary Braasch, winner of the Ansel Adams Award for Conservation Photography, as well as senior environmentalists. Individual pieces of work will be judged on impact, creativity, composition, originality and technical abilities. Winners share a prize fund of £4,000, receive widespread media coverage and are displayed in the Environmental Photographer of the Year exhibition to be launched at 3 Bedfordbury Gallery, Covent Garden, London on 8th October.
