  • The Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition has released a preview of select winning images for its 62nd year
  • Wildlife Photographer of the Year is developed and produced by the Natural History Museum, London
  • The full set of 100 winning images will be exhibited at the Museum following the full winners’ announcement on October 16

The winners announcement of the Natural History Museum's Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition is one of my favorite dates in the photographic calendar. It seems like every year the winning and commended photographers outdo themselves in capturing vivid, fascinating stories from the natural world.
