Award - Natural Landscape Photography Awards 2024

September 14, 2024

On the 14th of September I got the exciting news that I won an award in the Natural Landscape Photography Awards, 2024 edition (NLPA)

Until this point, this was all I knew - and that I was asked to keep it a secret until they had publicly released the news.

I was thrilled, to say the least! In previous years I had already been fortunate enough to have some of my photos included in the book and even had a photo that was highly commended. But to actually win an award was beyond my expectations!
I did however have good hopes, because all of the photos that I send in, made it to the ‘RAW-verification’ stage of this year’s NPLA edition.

When I got the email with the exciting news, it didn’t mention which award I had won. For this they had scheduled a Zoom-meeting for the next day, with all the winners of the competition.

One-by-one, the winners of the various categories were announced, it was a bit of a nerve-wracking experience, because until you see your photo pop-up, you have no clue of what you have won. And then, the moment was there. My photo was shown, combined with some very nice commentary about my photo from Matt Payne and Alex Nail.
I was proud, thankful and relieved.


Not much later, after all the winners were announced I found out that a lot more of my images got awarded.

Maybe even more exciting than winning the ‘mountain’ category, was being highly commended as ‘photographer of the year’! This award is given to the winner of a selection of entered photos. The highest achievable award of the competition.


In the ‘Water Worlds’ category, my photo won the third prize.


And if this wasn’t enough yet, my winning image was also highly commended in the ‘Grand Scenic’ category.


I am honoured that so many of my photos made it this far in this year’s Natural Landscape Photography Awards. A massive thanks to the founders and this year’s judges of the competition.

The amount of incredible photos that enter each year in this competition is amazing. Click on the link below to see the results of the 2024 edition of the NLPA.
