This picture shows 72-year-old master Tu Mu-ho carving a clay god sculpture. This picture was captured by Chang Chien Yu-sung, the winner of the "People" category of the 2022 National Geographic Taiwan Photo Contest.

Lin Chien-hung, the 2022 Nature Category winner captured shots of a glass frog.

The 2024 National Geographic Taiwan photo contest is now open for submissions. Two former winners talked about their works.

Lin Chien-hung
2022 Nature category winner
I want to set up a foundation that can conserve species. Many frogs abroad have been infected by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis so they may start to become extinct.

Chang Chien Yu-sung
2022 People category winner
It took two years to shoot because, during the process of gluing the statue, he had to stop and let the soil of the statue dry.

The 2024 National Geographic Taiwan photo contest has kicked off. This year’s contest calls for entries taken in Taiwan. Works can be submitted in several categories: “People,” “Places,” “Nature,” “Ecological Sustainability,” “Youth Group,” “Bird,” and for the first time “Astrophotography.”

The biggest feature of this year’s National Geographic Taiwan photo contest is that firstly, we added an astrophotography category. It’s for photos of deep space, the Solar System and the skies. We hope to invite more photographers who pay attention to wild animals and shoot photos of wild animals in a friendly way and ethical way.

We encourage everyone to go to a place with less light pollution to capture the pictures.

The National Geographic Taiwan photo contest is now in its eighth year. Photographers can submit their entries starting April 16 till July 13.
