Life Framer — Planet Earth

Life Framer runs as a monthly themed photography competition with a different juror each round. The "Planet Earth" call covers nature, landscape, environmental documentary, and aerial work — broadly, photography that engages with the planet itself rather than its inhabitants. The 2026 cycle of this theme is judged by Myrtille Delamarche, Editor-in-Chief of GEO Magazine.

The main prize is $2,000, with additional category awards and inclusion in Life Framer's online archive. Selected work is exhibited at Life Framer's partner galleries in New York, Tokyo, Milan, and Arles — a touring physical presence that runs alongside the online platform.

Entry fees are tiered between $20 and $100 depending on the number of images submitted (up to 10 maximum per applicant). AI-generated work is not accepted. Eligibility is open to photographers worldwide aged 18 or over. The Planet Earth theme deadline is July 31, 2026, with results announced in mid-August. Other Life Framer themes follow on a rolling monthly schedule, each with a different jury and slightly different focus.
