The British Wildlife Photography Awards were established to
recognise the talents of photographers practising in Britain, whilst at the
same time highlighting the great wealth and diversity of Britain’s natural
history. Now in its fifth year, this highly acclaimed and unique wildlife
photography competition has captivated the nation with outstanding and
beautiful imagery. It is a celebration of British wildlife as well as a
showcase for photographers, both amateur and professional.
Richard Benyon, Environment Minister comments on the winners
of 2012. “These photographs, as well as
being aesthetically beautiful in their own right, are also a vital reminder of
this nation’s greatest wealth”.
