The Comedy Wildlife Photo Awards 2024 are back, and they’re bringing the laughs. This annual competition, now in its 10th year, celebrates the humorous side of wildlife photography, showcasing images that capture the unexpected and often hilarious moments in the animal kingdom.
This year, the awards have partnered with the Whitley Fund for Nature, a UK-based charity dedicated to supporting conservation leaders in developing countries. The competition is open to photographers worldwide, with submissions pouring in from across the globe.
Among the early entries are some absolute gems: a three-headed giraffe staring into the distance, a rock ‘n’ roll sloth striking a pose, and a buffalo caught in a moment of utter bewilderment. The captions accompanying these images are as funny as the photos themselves, adding another layer of amusement to the experience.
But the Comedy Wildlife Photo Awards are about more than just laughs. They also aim to raise awareness about wildlife conservation and the importance of protecting our planet’s biodiversity. By showcasing the beauty and humor of the natural world, the competition hopes to inspire people to become involved in conservation efforts.
The grand prize winner will receive a once-in-a-lifetime safari trip to the Maasai Mara in Kenya, along with a unique handmade trophy from The Wonder Workshop in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The competition is free to enter and is open until July 31st. So, if you’re a wildlife photographer with a knack for capturing the unexpected, don’t miss your chance to be a part of the Comedy Wildlife Photo Awards 2024.
Get ready to laugh, be amazed, and learn about the importance of conservation, all in one incredible competition.
