Thank you to each and every one of you who entered this year’s George Masa Youth Conservation Photography Prize. We were genuinely inspired by the passion and creativity you brought to your work. This year, 406 students from 27 states shared their perspectives on the natural world, an extraordinary response that shows how closely young people are paying attention to the places around them.

Congratulations to all of our winners, whose photographs will be featured and celebrated for their skill, creativity, and thoughtful approach to conservation themes. Whether you were selected as a finalist or not, each of you contributed something meaningful. Your images remind us of the beauty, complexity, and importance of the landscapes, waters, and wildlife that shape our daily lives.

Thank you for being part of this year’s contest. We are grateful for your participation and look forward to seeing where your creative journeys lead next.
