Winners of the NPOTY People’s Choice Award 2023

The judges of the Nature Photographer of the Year contest 2023 (NPOTY) had the challenging task of selecting from 21,474 breathtaking, beautiful, and stunning images submitted to the NPOTY contest of 2023. Our jury members could only choose 60 images… However, there were many more fantastic images entered into the NPOTY contest!

For the third consecutive year, we organized the NPOTY People’s Choice Award. The jury members of the NPOTY contest of 2023 selected 22 images for our People’s Choice Award, and visitors to our Nature Talks Photo Festival voted on these images.
