At the beginning of November, EarthShots.org turned four years old! To celebrate this momentous milestone, we have completely revamped the website with a brand new site design and improved functionality. We also plan to introduce a number of additional new features in the future.

We hope that these changes will help cement Earth Shots’ reputation as a prestigious photo contest and a spectacular online showcase of our planet’s wonders.

We’re also pleased to announce the launch of a new weekly email newsletter. This provides a summary of the previous week’s winning photographs every Sunday. You can subscribe to the newsletter here:
