We believe photography and film have a profound international influence and that images and videos speak most powerfully to viewers and convey meaning and emotion beyond the barriers of language.

Working with Land Rover marks a new chapter for this important international competition. Land Rover’s history of exploration and ability to tackle the toughest terrain makes it the ideal partner for Earth Photo.

Amy Frascella, Land Rover's Director of Colour and Materials, joins the judging panel for 2021. Amy said: “People are increasingly aware of their impact on the planet; from the things they buy to what they eat and how they live. Land Rover continues to develop more responsible, sustainable material options, such as premium alternatives to leather and recycled polymers for our interiors.

“The Royal Geographical Society's Earth Photo competition is a powerful way to encourage debate and change and I'm excited to be joining the judging panel.”
