Welcome to the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards
Born from a passion for wildlife, and decades of experience living & working in East Africa, The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards began its life modestly in 2015 as a photographic competition.
Since then, steered by its founders, Paul Joynson-Hicks MBE and Tom Sullam, it has grown into a globally renowned competition seen by millions of people every year, and always with wildlife conservation at its heart.
The free competition, open to wildlife photography experts and novices, celebrates the hilarity of our natural world and highlights what we need to do to protect it. From a surprised otter to a swearing turtle, Comedy Wildlife’s photographs transcend cultures and ages to bring a smile to everyone’s face.
You can find out more about our competition, our mission and our conservation efforts on our website.

We are delighted to reveal that the OVERALL WINNER of the Comedy Wildlife Photo Awards 2021 is Ken Jensen with Ouch!
