The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition will feature some of the most exceptional nature photography taken from across the globe and will be returning to Sewerby Hall and Gardens on Saturday, 9 May.
The world-renowned exhibition, now in its sixty-first year and on loan from the Natural History Museum in London.
The exhibition shines a light on powerful and fascinating images that capture hidden animal behaviour, spectacular species and the breathtaking diversity of the natural world.
Using photography’s unique emotive power to engage and inspire audiences, the images share stories and species from around the world, encouraging a future of advocating for the planet.
The competition attracted over 60,000 entries from photographers of all ages and experience levels from 113 countries and territories. Entries were judged anonymously at the Natural History Museum in London, based on their creativity, originality, and technical excellence by an international panel of industry experts.
The People’s Choice award was announced last month. This year’s winner was Josef Stefan with Flying Rodent, a photo of an Iberian lynx playfully throwing its rodent prey in the air. To see more, visit: Nuveen People’s Choice Award | Wildlife Photographer of the Year | Natural History Museum
