The Nature Conservancy, an environmental nonprofit dedicated to addressing climate change and rapid biodiversity loss, hosts an annual nature photography contest to raise awareness of its advocacy work.

In addition, celebrity guest judge Cole Sprouse — himself a photographer, as well as an actor best known for the Disney Channel's "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" and The CW's "Riverdale" — chose his favorite photo for a celebrity judge choice award.
