Every year since 1965, the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition has rewarded the most beautiful photographs that shed light on our world. With just a few weeks to go until participants eagerly await the results, the organizers have unveiled the first photos in the competition.

Organized by the Natural History Museum in London, the competition offers us a unique window into the beauty and fragility of the animal world. The images in this edition are no exception, revealing moments of wildlife of rare intensity, captured by photographers from all over the world.

This sixtieth edition of the competition once again lived up to its promises and attracted the participation of no fewer than 59,228 photographers, both professional and amateur, from 117 countries. Among the images in competition, some stand out for their ability to capture the perfect moment: a predator on the hunt, a rare bird in flight, or even intimate scenes between animals. Each shot is an invitation to reflect on the place of humans in nature and the importance of preserving it.

While the final verdict will be announced in the coming weeks, the first images remind us why wildlife photography is much more than a visual art: it is an essential awareness tool for biodiversity conservation. To learn more about the competition, please visit the official website.

And while we wait to know the big winner for 2024, we strongly invite you to (re)discover Astounding Wildlife Photography in Africa by Rudi van Aarde.
