AWARDS FOR THE BEST NATURE PICTURES
For the Snapshot competition an independent jury selected - out of all images submitted - ten images from each of the three categories and will award the podium places tonight. Photographs with a focus on biodiversity will be honoured by IWB. In addition, an audience favourite photograph was chosen through online voting. We will also reveal which photograph won the hearts of the public and therefore the Public Prize.
After the award ceremony we will open the SNAPSHOT exhibition. The 34 best photographs can be admired in the exhibition at our museum until 28 June 2026.
The Snapshot photo competition takes place as part of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year special exhibition.
