Here are the 2021 Wildlife Photographer of the Year Winners

The best wildlife photography of the year will make you swoon.


It's the time of the year when we can marvel at the best wildlife photographs from the previous 12 months. The Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition is produced by the Natural History Museum of London. It dates back to 1965. The winning entries are, as we have come to expect, remarkable achievements in their own right. A panel of judges anonymously assessed each submission. They rated it according to originality and narrative as well as technical excellence and ethical practices, according to an email press release.

The contest featured 19 categories this year, as well as new categories such OceansThe Bigger Picture, WetlandsThe Bigger Picture, and WetlandsThe Bigger Picture. In keeping with tradition, two grand titles were awarded: the overall wildlife photographer and the young wildlife photographer.

The exhibition Wildlife Photographer of the Year, hosted by London's Natural History Museum, will feature the 100 best images. It will be open from October 15th 2021 to the public.
