Chairman of Judges, Peter Eastway, said of the competition, "We love putting the International Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards together. And after this judging has finished, we like nothing more than to scroll through not only the winning photographs, but all of them. We're constantly amazed at the lengths photographers go to, whether physically in the landscape or creatively in post-production. The judges are equally enthusiastic. We intentionally keep the core of our judging panel constant from year to year because we believe this gives our regular entrants a better experience, allowing them to gauge their progress." The judging panel includes David Burnett, Tim Parkin Aytek Çetin, Kaye Davis and Jim M Goldstein. Çetin was last year's winner.
