In issue # 185 we featured a pick of our favourites from the 2022 edition of the Natural History Museum's Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. More than 50000 entries were received but the judges could only award 100 winners. For the exhibition in London, the judges selected another 25 photos and asked the public to choose their favourite either online or by using the interactive screens at the museum.

This is the result! After a record 60 446 votes, Sascha Fonseca's snow leopard received the People's Choice Award. The shot - and the four other highly commended images in the category will be showcased alongside all the winners until the exhibition closes in July.

Wildlife Photographer of the Year offers a global platform for amateur and professional photographers to shine a light on stories and species around the world; and it helps support the Natural History Museum in its mission of advocating for the planet.

The 2023 edition of the competition is currently being judged and the winners will be revealed in October 2023. Visit Onhm.ac.uk for more.

WINNER!
