Categories

Animal Portraits

We are looking for an image that captures the character or spirit of the subject in an imaginative way. We want to be able to get a sense of the animal’s “personality” from the photograph. All species will be considered.

Animal Behaviour

Entries can show unusual, interesting, amusing or remarkable behaviour being exhibited, or depict something familiar in a new light. Show the judges something they don’t know or haven’t seen before, or invite them to look again at what they thought they already knew.

Urban Wildlife

Wherever we live, wildlife can be found alongside us in our towns and cities. We are looking for an original image that shows wild animals or plants within an urban or predominantly man-made environment.

Hidden Britain

Reveal to us the secret universe that is life on a small scale – a life that is all around us but rarely seen. This category is for invertebrate species only. Category sponsored by Buglife.

Coast and Marine

We are looking for an imaginative photograph that reveals the nature or behaviour of marine wildlife, or creates a sense of place or occasion. Marine and maritime species near the sea, underwater, at the sea shore and coastal zone only will be considered. Category sponsored by WWF.

Wildlife in my Backyard

Gardens represent a vital habitat for some of our most threatened species. Whether it is common or rare, we want to see stunning photos of wildlife in your garden, back yard, balcony, or any space where you, your friends or family do something to encourage nature. Category sponsored by the Countryside Council for Wales.

Habitat

We are looking for an imaginative and original image that powerfully portrays the importance of the environment and ecosystems that sustain the wildlife within them. This includes animals, plants and the relationships between them; for example a butterfly feeding on nectar or rooks roosting in a tree. Category sponsored by Countryside Jobs Service.

Living Landscape: Connectivity

Category sponsored by The Wildlife Trusts. Being connected to the natural world is great for our health, our happiness and for the future. All are inextricably linked. And so The Wildlife Trusts are working on a recovery plan for nature. It’s their vision to create a resilient environment; one rich in wildlife and great for people. What they call ‘A Living Landscape’.

This category is purposefully open to interpretation to encourage creativity and fresh and imaginative responses. Connectivity might be physical, sensory, seasonal or otherwise. We are keen to see how this category captures the imagination and how connectivity within the UK landscape is defined. Positive images illustrating how habitats, species, communities and individuals are all connected, and interconnect, within our natural environment, both in rural and urban settings, are encouraged. Whether images capture an imaginative or purely narrative approach; are simple or complex, the winning image will be breath-taking, mesmerising and powerful.

Some typical (and not exclusive) examples:

• Bee species pollinating crops directly links wildlife with the economy
• Salt marshes acting as a buffer between land and seas
• Hedgerows play a part in keeping the countryside ‘stitched’ together
• Estuaries are the connection for freshwater species with marine life
• Rivers connecting streams to the sea
• Sensory connections: the sights and sounds of everyday nature
• Children playing in a meadow, part of a bigger habitat restoration scheme
• Close up of a wall or pavement, showing the life these physical connections harbour eg lichens, invertebrates
• Practical conservation volunteers at work, the birth of a new habitat where people come to connect with nature
• Delight at witnessing a grandchild’s wonderment during their first wildlife encounter
• School parties connecting within their local community green spaces
• Symbolic images that epitomize our connection with nature and our landscape

British Seasons

For this category we are looking for a stunning portfolio of images. The portfolio needs to portray British wildlife at its very best in each of the four seasons; Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, or a portfolio of up to four from just one season. Each image needs to capture the essence of each season together with the wildlife subject, from any British location. The portfolio must work together as a set, themes are also encouraged. Each portfolio can either be four seasons or a single season. Category sponsored by RSPB.

Documentary Series

The documentary award can be a sequence of images of any British wildlife, conservation or environmental issue. The judges will be looking for innovation in story telling, within a portfolio of up to six images.

Wildlife on Video

The judges will be looking for the most inspirational and dynamic sequence (up to a minute) which clearly illustrates the unique power of video as a medium for capturing British wildlife. Any aspect of British wildlife will be considered. Category sponsored by Canon.

Some typical (and not exclusive) examples of short films:

• Creating a memorable portrait of a British wildlife species
• Highlighting a specific conservation issue related to British wildlife
• Showing unusual or remarkable behaviour
• About an individual animal such as a local fox who visits your garden or a special rescue case

Judging the best in digital photography
Deadline: 31st March 2009
This year’s theme: Living Planet

Celebrate an extraordinary place to live – Earth.

We live on an incredible planet. From the biggest, bustling metropolises, to seemingly barren plains, our planet is bursting with all kinds of life. We’re its beneficiaries, and its caretakers.

What makes our planet so alive? Is it the more than 6.5 billion human beings going about their business? The changing climate, or conservation efforts? Is it frenetic cities or untamed wilderness?

Turn your photographic eye towards our amazing planet and show us what you see – and you could win some fantastic prizes.

About the award

The Lumix Award is awarded each year to celebrate excellence in digital photography.

It was established in 2003 to showcase the unique creativity associated with digital photography – no longer bound by the constraints of 35mm film cameras.

Each year’s competition centres on a different creative theme. Previous themes have included “Man and Machine” (2003), “Perfect Place” (2004), “Everyday Adventures” (2005), “Same Sights – Different Views” (2006), and “Capture your Culture” (2007). This year’s theme is “Living Planet”.

How it works

Upload your images exploring the theme “Living Planet” for your chance to either become a monthly or overall Lumix Award winner.

You can enter one image per month for the 2008 Lumix Award before the closing date on 31 March 2009.

Each photograph you submit will be entered into the monthly competition, and will also go into the running to win the overall prize. Your photographs will be judged by professional photographers.

Please note: all photographs entered must be taken with a digital camera.

Overall prize

Win a once-in-a-lifetime trip to one of the world’s natural wonders – the Eden Project in Cornwall, England.

The overall winner of the Lumix Award competition – the single best digital still image we receive – will win a 5-day trip for two to Cornwall, England, including two 3-day passes to the Eden Project, where the winner and his/her guest can experience and explore its global garden.

The winner will also receive a Lumix DMC-G1 digital camera. This versatile camera offers you an amazing photographic power being incredibly light and packed with smart features in an extremely small and stylish body. Take it with you everywhere. It’s the perfect camera for this year’s Lumix Award theme.

Two lucky runners-up will receive the brilliant compact Lumix LX3, a digital camera featuring true 16:9 format.
