Wildlife Photographer of the Year

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wildlife Photographer of the Year is one of the most important awards for nature photographers . The competition was launched in 1965 by BBC Wildlife Magazine (then Animals ). In 1984 the magazine merged with the Natural History Museum and created the competition in its current form. It is considered one of the most prestigious nature photo competitions.

Nature photographers from all over the world can apply in various categories. The editorial team received 361 entries for the first competition in 1965, over 18,500 in 2002 and over 48,000 in 2019.

In 2009 there was no winning picture for the first time. The originally awarded price for the picture of a jumping Iberian wolf was subsequently withdrawn from the photographer José Luis Rodriguez because it shows a tame wolf.

The competition is sponsored every year by a company from the nature, environment or photography sector.
