Czech Nature Photo – Prestigious Competition of Wildlife and Nature Photography- The Czech Nature Photo contest, organised by Czech Photo, brings together the very best wildlife and nature photographers from the Czech Republic and beyond. It is a unique platform that highlights the beauty and fragility of nature, while encouraging public awareness and responsibility for the environment.

“We believe it is essential to care for our countryside and nature. Our long-term aim is to ensure that people, from an early age, realise they are part of nature, that they can appreciate its beauty firsthand, and build a strong, positive connection with it. Through photography, we aim to communicate that each of us is responsible for the natural world around us – not only locally, but globally,” says Veronika Souralová, director of the Czech Press Photo contest and head of the Czech Nature Photo project. The competition is open to professional and advanced amateur photographers, and entries are judged by an international jury of experts in photography and natural science.

The exhibition showcases winning and nominated photographs in a majestic historical setting, bringing the beauty of the natural world to the heart of the nation.

Categories and Message - The competition includes several categories focusing on wildlife, landscape, plants, and man’s interaction with nature. Special emphasis is placed on conservation photography, and the contest continues to highlight the importance of environmental responsibility and visual storytelling.
