About

The SUGi x NAVA Photography Contest celebrates the ways we bring nature closer, even in everyday urban settings. We want to see wild places through your lens and your creativity. The wild places you experience may be close to home or far away, in town or in a more remote locale. We love the notion of nature rekindling the wild side of human nature too. We welcome all types of photography, whether you are documenting the natural world as it is today or envisioning a future paradise. The SUGi x NAVA Photography Contest welcomes photographers of all levels from around the world to submit their work for the chance to win cash prizes totaling $10,000 with a grand prize of $4,000. In our second year of this contest, we are adding categories. Please choose a category (People & Nature, Urban Wildlife, Landscape, Underwater, Wildlife, Climate, and Conceptual) to submit your photograph(s) to upon entry.

SUGi empowers people to invest in nature and restore biodiversity by planting SUGi Pocket Forests in cities, schools and waterways around the world. NAVA Contemporary is an art advisory offering consultancy services and an online gallery featuring a curated selection of artwork by compelling artists.

The SUGi x NAVA Photography Contest is open to everyone, worldwide
Whether you are a professional photographer, photography enthusiast, or a beginner, the Photography contest is open to contestants worldwide.
