Landscape photography is increasingly embracing a more honest representation of the world we live in, where very little is untouched by man, and often with poor consequences. This contest invites images of landscapes that might be described as 'degraded'. They might be more literal, as in the images of Burtynsky (<a href="https://www.edwardburtynsky.com/projects/photographs/tailings" target="_blank">https://www.edwardburtynsky.com/projects/photographs/tailings</a>) or of litter-strewn beaches, or could be of some other way in which the natural landscape has had a harmful or poisonous substance introduced into it.
