Celebrating Diversity Through Nature:
Our Top 13 selection of 2026
Welcome to the Queer Nature Photography Awards, where we celebrate the vibrant intersection of queerness and biodiversity. In a world where nature flourishes in all its diverse forms, our mission is to highlight the importance of embracing and honoring this diversity that is often still unseen and at times, misunderstood. This year, the awards proudly showcase the top 13 selected photographs that not only capture the beauty of the natural world but also reflect the unique perspectives of these photographers.
Through their lenses, these talented artists reveal how nature challenges conventional norms and inspires us to embrace a broader understanding of identity and existence. Each photograph tells a powerful story of connection, resilience, and the intricate web of life that surrounds us.
Join us in honoring these extraordinary works that inspire us to see the world through a more inclusive and compassionate lens. Together, let’s celebrate the beauty of our planet and the diverse voices that contribute to its richness.
We hope you will enjoy our selection,
Warm regards,
The Narwhal Rainbow Alliance team and our Allies
Why the queer nature photography awards?
Nature is queer, but many people do not know this. That's a shame because by spreading this knowledge people can better understand that 'being queer' is natural and this (bio)diversity should be celebrated.
Queer nature and animal stories have the potential to:
-
Contribute to the self-acceptance of queers
-
Contribute to the acceptance of queers by non-queers
-
Reach new targets groups and involve them more in stopping the current extinction wave by combining queer nature stories with the state of nature.
The Queer Nature Photography Awards gives a stage to our colourful world and offers a fresh perspective on queer topics.
What others say:
"Long overdue, these awards are a great way to make wildlife photography more inclusive and to fully honor the wonders of nature!"
