Wildlife and nature photography lovers from around the globe are invited to have their say and vote for their favourite image to win the Wildlife Photographer of the Year People’s Choice Award.
The amazing images vary from a determined honey badger attempting to catch a spikey meal to a beluga whale exfoliating its skin. The 25 striking images offer a powerful insight into the remarkable beauty of nature as well as the critical challenges facing wildlife today. The shortlisted photographs were chosen from 59,228 entries from 117 countries and territories, in addition to the 100 winning images announced earlier this year, by the Natural History Museum, London, and an international judging panel.
Dr Douglas Gurr, Director of the Natural History Museum says: “The People’s Choice Award allows members of the public from across the globe to join the jury and vote for their winning image, inspiring everyone to connect with the natural world. As always, this year's selection of images for the competition’s sixtieth anniversary is truly exceptional, and we can't wait to see which one will be chosen as the public's favourite!” Among this year’s selection is the moment a European roller bird defended its territory from a bemused-looking little owl by Bence Máté. Arvind Ramamurthy’s memorable image of an Indian wolf pack pausing briefly as they played amongst some fields and Jose Fragozo’s heartbreaking image of a young cheetah cub waiting to be sold in Ethiopia are also in the running.
The public can vote for their favourite image either online or via digital screens in the flagship Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition at the Natural History Museum, London. Voting closes on Wednesday 29 January 2025.
The winning image and the four runners-up will be announced in February 2025 and displayed online, joining the winners of the sixtieth competition announced earlier this year. The top five People’s Choice Award images will also be showcased on the voting screens at the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition in South Kensington until the exhibition closes on Sunday 29 June 2025.
New for this year’s competition, entrants aged 18 to 26 may enter up to 25 images for free and, as per last year, there is an entry fee waiver for photographers entering the adult competition from 107 countries. Harnessing the unique emotive power of photography, the annual competition and touring exhibition spotlight inspiring and impactful stories from the natural world to create advocates for the planet.
