Harnessing the power of weather and climate photography

The Standard Chartered Weather Photographer of the Year competition celebrates striking images that help focus our attention on the impact of weather and our changing climate. Find out more about the competition and how you can enter.

Can you take the perfect shot of our weather? From stunning sunsets to stormy seas and flashes of lightning, anyone can submit their most striking images to the Standard Chartered Weather Photographer of the Year competition.

Organised by the UK's Royal Meteorological Society, the competition is designed to encourage amateur and professional photographers to capture and document weather around the world.

The competition is open for entries until 27 June 2023, and the winner will be announced on 5 October 2023. There are three categories – the main award, the mobile photographer award and the young persons’ award (aged 17 and under), and prizes for the winning photographs.
