Through a Lens that Protects Nature and Preserves the Future, HIPA, in collaboration with the Dubai Environment and Climate Change Authority, invites photographers from around the world to capture the extraordinary beauty and diversity of nature across the UAE—from remarkable wildlife and breathtaking landscapes to the hidden wonders beneath the water’s surface.
A special category also invites participants to reimagine nature through Artificial Intelligence, using an original photograph taken in the UAE as the foundation for a new visual creation.
The competition welcomes compelling perspectives that showcase the UAE’s natural heritage through photography, storytelling, and creative innovation.
Through every image, the competition seeks to deepen our connection with nature and inspire greater appreciation for the natural world we share.
