The FINALISTS for the 2020 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards have just been ANNOUNCED!! We have been overwhelmed by the standard of entries this year, and by the number! Never have we had so many entries, and of such high quality, and the judges will now settle down to many hours of sifting, scoring and selecting (with the odd cup of tea, biscuit, and light snooze thrown in no doubt). If you would like to use the Finalists images for press/editorial purposes, please contact us at [email protected]

Good luck to all the Finalists, it will be a genuinely thrilling experience to uncover this year's winners on October 22!.

If you have missed the entry period we are so sorry, but do keep your images in a safe place for next year's competition, which will open again early 2021.

For those of you that have entered, here are the key dates for you all:

September 10th: Finalists Announced

October 22nd: Winners Announced

Due to the ongoing travel and social distancing issues, it is very likely that our awards night will have to be an online affair. Although we have not completely shut the door on our event, we are making plans for a fantasmical (it’s a word, definitely) online awards night, with drums, off the cuff gags, connectivity issues and accidental muting all thrown in. We can't wait, but more info to follow when we know more.

Thanks again to all of you for being part of our competition, more importantly for being part of our conservation effort along with the Born Free Foundation. It would not be much of an effort without you, so we are utterly indebted to your participation.

Thank you!

Paul, Tom and Michelle.
