From emotive images of endangered species to awe-inspiring shots of the wildest of places on Earth, the global search for this year’s best wildlife pictures has begun.
Entries to Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year, the world’s most prestigious wildlife photography competition, open on 12 January and close on 5 March 2010. Owned by the Natural History Museum and BBC Wildlife Magazine, the Competition is now in its 46th year and showcases the very best photographic images of nature, providing an insight into the drama, beauty and importance of life on Earth.
The Competition is open to professional and amateur photographers of all ages. It includes 11 adult categories spanning everything from Creative Visions of Nature and Urban Wildlife to Animal Portraits and interesting Animal Behaviour. In addition the Competition has four special awards as well as three junior categories. The two overall winners, Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year and Veolia Environnement Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year, will be selected from the Competition category winners.
New for Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2010 is an exciting new award – Wildlife Photojournalist of the Year. This award allows photographers to submit six pictures to tell a memorable story. All subjects covered in other categories in the competition are eligible, whether featuring animal behaviour or environmental issues from a positive or negative perspective. The visual narrative must work without the aid of words and will be judged by the picture quality in tandem with the power of the story itself.
