History of IGPOTY

Garden Photographer of the Year was originally founded by; Jane Nichols, Philip Smith, Clive Nichols and Andrew Lawson in 2007. As a response to entries and enquiries from outside Great Britain, it added 'International' to the title in 2008. Its first exhibition took place at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in May 2008 and quickly established itself as the world's premier garden and plant photography event.

Since Competition 8 - through to Competition 10, Mirror Plate Media Ltd has become the new owner and operator of IGPOTY and has grown the competition and exhibition to new levels and to new audiences worldwide.
