Warszawa Naturalnie 2026–2027 — Free Warsaw Nature Photography Competition for Students and Adults

Warszawa. Naturalnie is a nature photography competition organised by the Natural History Museum of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Entries close 21 March 2027. Photographs must depict nature within the administrative boundaries of Warsaw, Poland, but entrants do not need to live in Warsaw. There are four participant classifications: primary school students, secondary school students, amateur photographers and professional photographers. Each person can submit up to five photographs. Minors need parent or guardian consent. Entry is free. The total prize pool is PLN 30,000 in noncash prizes such as gift cards, with first, second and third places in each of the four groups. Eligible subjects include wildlife, plants, fungi, water habitats, city parks, geological features, urban ecology and seasonal phenomena. Images may be captured on a camera or phone; cropping, brightness, colour and noise reduction are permitted, but photomontage and generative AI imagery are prohibited. Include the date and Warsaw location of each photo and a short description of the subject and story. Complete the organizer’s application form and declarations and email photographs with documents to konkursmhn@pan.pl. Applicants should check official regulations for image date range, signatures and submission format. Official application and documents: https://konkursmhn.pan.pl/ . This is a Warsaw-subject competition open to people living elsewhere, not a worldwide nature-photography subject contest.
