Click, click, snap - photographs anyone?
The 2015 Competition is now open for entries
Your chance to win a prestigious award, with a cash prize of
£5,000 and reach millions through national exposure. Help raise awareness about
British wildlife and celebrate our natural heritage. Winners and commended
entrants will have their work showcased in a touring exhibition and stunning
book, and will be invited to an exclusive Awards ceremony in London.
The overall prize fund worth up to £20,000 includes products
from lead sponsors Sky and Canon.
The awards recognise the talents of photographers practising
in Britain whilst also highlighting the great wealth and diversity of British
natural history. A celebration of British wildlife as well as a showcase for
photographers and videographers, both amateur and professional.
There are sixteen separate categories including animal
behaviour, urban wildlife, habitat, animal portraits, marine life, the hidden
secret world that lies in the undergrowth and a special award for wildlife in
HD Video. Also two junior categories and a school award - to encourage young
people to connect with nature through photography.
CJS is pleased to be sponsoring the botanical category once again. Plants and landscapes are much more our thing than moving animals - we're a bit short on patience (not to mention time) to capture anything other than a passing blur! Those of you who do have our utmost admiration.
Find out more about all the categories here: http://www.bwpawards.org/categories
If moving images are more your thing (we're not talking blurs here, unless it is a deliberate one of course!), then this category will be the one for you: Wildlife in HD Video sponsored by Sky+HD
In addition to still photography there is a great
opportunity to capture wildlife in action and win an amazing prize. Be inspired by the video winner and
commended entries in 2014. http://www.bwpawards.org/categories/wildlife-in-hd-video
And of course we can't leave out the youngsters, for all the budding photographers have a look at : Young People’s Awards
WildPix / BWPA, sponsored by RSPB Wildlife
Explorers. http://www.bwpawards.org/page/young_awards
Chris Packham, Naturalist and TV Presenter said "Each
year the British Wildlife Photography Awards generates an incredible catalogue
of splendid, exciting, imaginative and artistic images, proving beyond doubt
that we have the richest palette of life to celebrate in our own backyard.
Anyone passionate about protecting and preserving wildlife will be inspired by
the British Wildlife Photography Awards, which in its sixth year has done more
than any other award to raise the profile of British wildlife.
So what are you waiting for?

For inspiration, this is last year's overall winning entry, isn't it wonderful.
