The Shell Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition is one of the largest and most esteemed international photography competitions in the world. This year was the biggest on record with over 32,000 entries from 78 different countries. While not a category winner, I’m am very proud that my photograph “Future Forest” was a finalist in the competition. The winners of this competion represent the best outdoor photographers in the world. Past winners include well know photographers such as Frans Lanting, Doug Allen and Karl Ammann. Considering the quantity and quality of entries and the rigorous three month judging process, I am honored that one of my images made it to the final round.
You can check out past year’s winners at the competition website HERE. This year’s winners will be posted to the site in late October in conjunction with publishing the winning photos in the November issue of BBC Wildlife Magazine and the openning of the exhibition at the Natural History Museum of England.
