Exhibition of 100 new award-winning nature photography images on light panels, marking the sixty-second year of the competition.
Wildlife Photographer of the Year opened at the Natural History Museum on Friday 16 October, and it's running through to Sunday 11 July 2027. It's the museum's global platform for nature photography and wildlife photojournalism, now in its sixty-second year. The competition draws more than 65,000 entries and supports a touring exhibition that reaches millions worldwide.
This year's show brings together 100 new award-winning images, each displayed on its own light panel. Among them is the adult winner, The Aftermath by Federico Veronesi from Italy, and the Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year winner, Labour of Love by Oscar Whitfield, who's based in the UK and Zimbabwe. The images are set in a calm, contemplative space, and they're meant to offer a look at the environmental challenges facing the planet, spotlighting the people, places and species that need attention. This edition is framed by the museum's Biodiversity Intactness Index, a Global Biodiversity Framework indicator, and is supported by lead corporate sponsor Nuveen.
For those who find busy galleries a bit much, there are relaxed viewings for disabled and neurodiverse visitors from 10:00 to 11:00 on the first Saturday and Wednesday of each month. There's also an online gallery that brings together images from the current show and previous exhibitions.
