Entries now open for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2010
Brought to you by The Natural History Museum, BBC Wildlife Magazine and Veolia Environment, Now in its 46th year, the competition has become the international measure for great wildlife photography. It plays a crucial role in raising the profile of wildlife photography and stimulating an awareness of nature conservation, and the winning pictures are seen by millions of people around the world.
We’ve made several exciting changes to the competition this year. For example, we are introducing a brand new special award, called Wildlife Photojournalist of the Year, for the best portfolio of striking pictures that tell a powerful story.
A few other things have changed, too – we no longer allow captive animals, for example – so don’t forget to read the rules properly. Most of all, as part of our continuing efforts to encourage responsible wildlife photography, we stress that it is critically important to put the welfare of the animals and their habitats first.

Every year I go to this wildlife photographer exhibition at the Natural History Museum, and every year I come out feeling I’ve gotten more than my money’s worth. I don’t even own an SLR or take many pictures myself, but its just so amazing to see amazing photos of animals from around the world.
My favourite so far is the one of the wolf standing in the middle of a snow covered field. There’s a reprint of that image on this page: http://www.london-insider.co.uk/2010/01/photography-exhibition-exposes-where-the-whild-things-are/
Can’t wait to see next year’s winning entries.
