    Help us create a better world

    By sharing your creativity, you’re also helping the planet. For every photo you submit to the Saal Digital European Photo Awards, we will plant one deciduous tree in Germany – up to a maximum of 3,000 trees. Your participation not only celebrates photography, but also supports reforestation and biodiversity for future generations. Together, we can make a difference – one image, one tree at a time.

    The categories

    You can submit up to 5 photos in total – either all within one category or spread across multiple categories – and increase your chances of winning, as each category has its own Saal Digital voucher prize.
