Contest
The 9th edition of the Photo NightScape Awards, created in 2014, rewards the most beautiful night landscapes in the world. To do this, you need to combine a terrestrial reference and a starry sky in the same shot. This year, you can compete in 5 categories: NightScape, In Town, Timelapse, Smartphone, and for the first time in the Black&White category.
Juniors under 18yo do not have a specific category, and can compete in all categories, with parental consent.
You have until April 30th 2022 at midnight to send your best photos or timelapse.
You can participate with a maximum of 6 photos, all categories combined.
Participation is free: registration is free but you can support our association and the Prize by making a donation of the amount of your choice.
