Wildlife Photographer of the Year is the most prestigious photography event of its kind, providing a global platform that showcases some of the best photography talent from around the world for nearly 60 years. Launching in 1965, today the competition receives entries from 95 countries all over the world, highlighting its enduring appeal.

This year’s award-winning images will embark on an international tour that will allow them to be seen by well over a million people.  

This year’s competition attracted 49,957 entries from photographers of all ages and experience levels from 95 countries. On the first week entries were judged anonymously on their creativity, originality, and technical excellence by an international panel of industry experts. 

The winning images, including the Grand Title Award winners, were announced on 10 October 2023 during an awards show hosted by wildlife presenters Chris Packham and Megan McCubbin. 

Dr Doug Gurr, Director of the Natural History Museum says, 'We are facing urgent biodiversity and climate crises, and photography is a powerful catalyst for change. The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition reveals some of nature’s most wondrous sights whilst offering hope and achievable actions visitors can take to help protect the natural world.’

Chair of the judging panel, Kathy Moran says, ‘What most impressed the jury was the range of subjects, from absolute beauty, rarely seen behaviours and species to images that are stark reminders of what we are doing to the natural world. We felt a powerful tension between wonder and woe that we believe came together to create a thought-provoking collection of photographs.’
