About Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2023

In this world-renowned exhibition, on loan from the Natural History Museum in London, see exceptional images which capture fascinating animal behaviour, spectacular species and the breath-taking diversity of the natural world.

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, the competition receives entries from 95 countries all over the world, highlighting its enduring appeal. The 2023 competition attracted an astounding 49,957 entries from photographers of all ages and experience levels and, during an intense week at the Natural History Museum in London, entries were judged anonymously on their creativity, originality, and technical excellence by an international panel of industry experts.  

The international tour of the award-winning images will allow them to be seen by well over a million people. Using photography's unique emotive power to engage and inspire audiences, the images shine a light on stories and species around the world and encourage a future of advocating for the planet.
