Welcome to the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards

THE 2021 COMEDY WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS ARE NOW CLOSED!

Wowza!! That was quite a blast!! Unbelievably, given the state of travel in the world right now, we have been overwhelmed by your comedy wildlife entries.  How did you do that, you clever lot!? We are now looking forward to the enviable and delicious task of going through them all to pick the top 40 shortlist, which is such a tricky job (as they’re all so good) to be announced in a couple of months.  

If you have missed the entry deadline for this year, don't worry, we’ll be back for next year’s competition in early 2022 so keep your images in a safe until then.  

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

September 1st: Finalists (top 40) announced and open for voting on the Affinity Photo People's Choice Award

October 22nd: Winners announced

Due to the ongoing travel and social distancing issues, it is very likely that our awesome awards night will have to be an online affair – again this year.  But with even better gags, larger moustaches and brighter shirts!  Much more info to follow when we know more, so keep checking in here and following us on social to be the first to know! 

Thanks again to all of you for being part of our competition and keeping us all smiling again this year, we really couldn’t do it without you and more importantly, helping us support our brilliant conservation partners this year - the Gunung Palung Orang-utan Conservation Program and the wonderful but endangered wildlife and habitat that they protect.

If you haven't had a chance yet please, go to their website www.savewildorangutans.com sign up and have a look. 

That's it from us, we're off to dive into your wildlife entries. We'll be back in September with the Finalists and a chance to vote for your favourite - can't wait!

All the best

Paul, Tom and Michelle (and Rosie and Coco the Spaniels)
