The Natural History Museum in London hosts an annual Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest, inviting wildlife and nature photographers from around the world to participate.
The competition celebrates the natural world’s beauty while highlighting the challenges facing animals in the wild today.
Every year, a jury selects winners across multiple categories, including Animal Portraits, Under Water, and Urban Wildlife, while members of the public get to vote for a People’s Choice Award winner.
This year, a panel of judges shortlisted 25 images from 59,228 entries for its People’s Choice Award. Now, people worldwide can view these images and vote online for their favorite pictures until 29 January 2025.
“The People’s Choice Award allows members of the public from across the globe to join the jury and vote for their winning image, inspiring everyone to connect with the natural world,” Douglas Gurr, the director of the Natural History Museum, said in a statement.
The winning image and the four runners-up will be announced in February 2025 and displayed online on the website.
The top five People’s Choice Award images will also be displayed on voting screens at the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition in South Kensington until 29 June 2025.
Here are the shortlisted images from this year’s contest.
