Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year

About

One of the most prestigious competitions of its kind, the Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year showcases the very best in photographic images of the natural world.

The world-renowned exhibition, on loan from the Natural History Museum in London, features 100 awe-inspiring images from fascinating animal behaviour to breathtaking wild landscapes.

Through the lens of wildlife photography, the exhibition captures the intrigue and beauty of our planet, giving us a glimpse of the natural world as it has never been seen before.

Visually stunning and often thought-provoking, the images provide an insight into the drama and variety of nature.

The international judging panel reviewed more than 48,000 entries from amateur and professional photographers in 98 countries in 2012. The images were selected for their creativity, artistry and technical complexity.

Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year celebrates the beauty and magnificence of the world we live in, as well as acting as a stark reminder of the fragility of nature.

The Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year is co-owned by the Natural History Museum and the BBC Wildlife Magazine.
