Now in its 57th year, the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition uses the unique power of photography to tell stories, spark conversation and inspire curiosity in the natural world.

 

The 2021 competition attracted more than 49,000 entries from around the world - a huge rise from the 361 entrants in its maiden year, 1965.

 

Images are selected for the exhibition by a panel of international experts, and winning entries are recognised for their creativity, originality and technical excellence.

Having been showcasing the world's most astonishing natural photography for more than fifty years, the Wildlife Photography of the Year exhibition offers visitors the rare chance to get up close and personal with a huge selection of animals.

 

This year’s winning image, ‘Creation’, was taken by Laurent Ballesta of France and captures the occasional spectacle of camouflage groupers leaving a mating frenzy that takes place once a year under a full moon.

 

Tickets for the 2021 collection are priced at £7 for adults and £5 for concessions, with under-16s passes available free of charge and a 50% discount on offer for students and attendees aged 16-24. 

 

Head to the M Shed website to find out more and secure your tickets for the final weeks of the exhibition.
