«Since the Environmental Photography Award was created in 2021, nearly 200 images have been exhibited around the world, revealing the incredible beauty of our planet and reminding us of the urgent need to take action, every day, to protect it. For its fifth edition, the Award is pursuing its ambition of highlighting exceptional photographs that carry strong messages. Each shared story arms us with knowledge, sometimes sending us a warning but, above all, filling our hearts with wonderful messages of hope that reinforce the importance of collective action. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have participated in the Environmental Photography Award over the past five years – the talented photographers and distinguished members of the juries – for their valuable contribution.» HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco
