Hosted in Perth, the CLIP award is given to a photographer who displays the ability to take landscape images that are original and stimulating while pushing the boundaries of traditional photography.
The 2011 winner is third-year Bachelor of Arts (Photography) student Daniel Stephen Miller.
Mr Miller's winning photo, Small Mountain, is one of many images from The Green Album, a series made in 2010.
The Green Album was edited and completed while on an exchange program at the Rhode Island School of Design in the USA.
He said the album, which displays his images in the form of postcards, showed his interest in "the collection and dissemination of images by travellers, and in the frequent suppression of photography's reproducibility in contemporary art".
Winning the CLIP award earned Mr Miller $3,000, all of which he intends on using to further his photographic career, starting with an exhibition of his work at RMIT's Field 36 Gallery next month.
He has also been selected to be part of an exhibition at the Pingyao International Photography Festival, held in China later this year.
Curated by RMIT lecturers Bronek Kozka and Pauline Anastasiou, the festival will feature the works of six RMIT students and recent graduates.
