EmailThis year marks the 60th anniversary of the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year award at the Natural History Museum, revealing the beauty, wonder and vulnerability of the natural world through 100 nature shots by the world's best wildlife photographers.
Photo: londondrum.comThis year's competition attracted a record-breaking 59,228 entries from 117 different countries and territories. They were then evaluated by an international jury of experts for their creativity, originality and technical excellence, before being whittled down to the final 100.
The exhibition features all 100 of these finalists, from intimate portraits and dramatic landscapes to animals captured in incredible poses. Every photograph is a reminder of our planet's wonders and the species at risk of extinction, and take you on a visual adventure through glittering seaweed, dolphins swimming through submerged forests, and alongside majestic predators like falcons hunting butterflies.
Photo: nhm.ac.ukThe photos are displayed alongside accompanying videos, soundscapes, quotes from the jury members, and insights from the Natural History Museum's own scientists that show you first-hand how human activities, both good and bad, are shaping the natural world.
Winning images by Shane Gross and Alexis Tinker-Tsavalas
The 2024 Grand Title award for Wildlife Photographer of the Year has gone to Shane Gross for his ribbon of tadpoles swimming through a pond. Titled In The Swarm of Life, it captures a drove of inky-black, gold western toad tadpoles amongst towering plants in British Columbia, Canada.
The Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year award went to Alexis Tinker-Tsavalas for Life Under Dead Wood - an extraordinary image of a pink-coloured springtail standing next to a ballooning slime mould.
