For a fifth category - portfolio - amateurs and professionals are invited to submit a collection of photos around a theme of their choice. The winner gets a £3,000 cash prize, while runners-up receive a Nikon D3400 camera kit.
This year's winning portfolio was submitted by Northern Irish professional photographer Trevor Cole and explores life in a desert salt-mining community in the Afar Triangle region of Ethiopia.
The collection by runner-up Andy Skillen, also a professional photographer, is literally the polar opposite, following a family of bears on Canada's Baffin Island.
Take a look at the winners and runners-up from this year's contest in the gallery.
