“I’m delighted to have Ron McCombe as part of the judging panel. As a photographer who entered in our first year and won the title of Scottish Nature Photographer of the Year, he has been a great ambassador for the awards and his insight into nature photography will be great to have.

“Ten years on, I still love his winning Waxwing image.”

As the competition has grown over the years, Junior Scottish Nature Photographer of the Year, Student Scottish Nature Photographer of the Year and Scottish Nature Video awards have been added, and there has been an international line-up of entrants and winners.

The photography competition covers wildlife, landscape, botanical, abstract and environmental subjects, while the video award seeks short nature films.

All images and videos must be taken in Scotland.

Prizes for the 2019 competition include luxury holiday breaks, campervan hire, workshop, tour and visitor experiences, cash prizes, membership, prints and clothing.
