2025 LANDSCAPE CATEGORY: TOP 20

Photographer of the Year, presented by Ted's, is the largest competition of its kind for amateur photographers in Australia and New Zealand. Congratulations to the following photographers who finished at the top of the LANDSCAPE category.

The LANDSCAPE category challenges photographers to shoot four images that work together as a cohesive series. Images are judged as a group, rather than individually, and series where there is a thematic or aesthetic relationship between the images tend to perform better in judging.

Images in the LANDSCAPE category may be of the natural or built environment. Congratulations to everyone who entered. Here are the Top 10 and Top 20 images from the 2025 competition.
