Competition theme for 2023

‘Nature and Climate’ is the theme of this year’s Royal Society of Biology Photography Competition.

Life on Earth is affected by the climate, weather and seasonal changes and this year we invite you to capture this.

Your photograph could depict and capture the story of life as it is affected by the climate, weather or seasonal changes, perhaps in an unexpected or changed environment, or showing how the natural world is affected by a changing climate (and weather patterns).

We also welcome entries that explore this year’s theme at the molecular or cellular level, illustrating the affects or changes in nature and climate via processes only revealed to us with the aid of a microscope.
