Moorpark, California, US An inmate hand crew battles a mountain fire in Moorpark. Fast-moving fires erupted across California this week as the state was lashed by powerful winds that complicated firefighting efforts, necessitated power shutoffs and raised the danger for more fires.

Norberto Pezzotta: Augmented Unreality (juror pick) Norberto Pezzotta ‘This project explores the concept of beauty in the age of artificial intelligence. In a world increasingly dominated by AI, the definition of beauty risks becoming more standardised, losing its richness and diversity. In my creative process, I use AI to generate images that respond to a specific creative input. Once conceived, these images are printed on paper and placed by me in the physical space of my studio to be captured, together with real models, by my camera lens’

The Forest of the Monarchs – grand prize winner What looks like sunlit foliage on trees are actually millions of monarch butterflies. The only species that migrates to avoid North America’s winter, they fly up to 3,000 miles south to Mexico’s warm and humid Sierra Madre mountains. The butterflies cluster on oyamel fir trees, cozying up to generate warmth and conserve energy as temperatures dip.

Stardust Forest – art of nature winner Fireflies hold particular cultural significance in Japan, where their emergence marks the changing of the seasons and is thought to be a manifestation of the souls of dead soldiers. The floating light trails captured in this photo from Yamagata, Honshu island, were mostly created by male fireflies, which hover and emit frequent bursts of light when courting mates.

In Celebration – landscapes, waterscapes and flora winner In the tidepools off South Africa’s Cape peninsula, the photographer Geo Cloete captures the symbiosis between the crashing waves and sea anemones: only when there is a chance to feed do these colourful cnidarians bloom, extending their tentacles to ensnare plankton, crabs and tiny fish. As the waves sweep over the pools at high tide, nutrients and other microscopic organisms are delivered to the pool’s intricate food web.

A Moment in the Sun – terrestrial wildlife finalist Perched on the cliffs of the Pribilof Islands in Alaska, this blue arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus pribilofensis) basks in the sunlight – a rare occurrence for an archipelago often shrouded in thick fog. Blue arctic foxes are endemic to these remote islands and have adapted over generations to the unique, treeless environment: below the fox lies the entrance to a maze of tunnels that form a den for these secretive mammals.
