The world\u2019s leading photography competition has arrived at T\u0101maki Paenga Hira Auckland War Memorial Museum, with an exhibition of the winners, highly commended, and \u201cbest of the rest\u201d opening at the weekend.<\/p>\n
\n Now in its 61st year, the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition is regarded as, perhaps, the most
\n prestigious photography contest for wildlife, environmental and natural history pictures that showcase hidden animal behaviour, spectacular species, and the breathtaking diversity of the natural world.\n <\/p>\n
The 100 images on display are carefully curated by a panel of adjudicators at the Natural History Museum in London and sent on a roving exhibition around the globe.<\/p>\n
Exhibition visitors will have the chance to enter the draw to win the ultimate expedition cruise for two, valued at more than $20,000: an eight-day Alaska expedition with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, travelling through the spectacular coastlines of Alaska and British Columbia.<\/p>\n
The display is on until August 23 and is free with museum entry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NZ Herald 29 Jun, 2026 06:00 PMQuick Read Subscribe to listenAccess to Herald Premium articles require a Premium…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":560446,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[267],"tags":[239545,365,362,363,364,2032,28175,239548,428,366,18,117,2037,17706,239547,19,13602,17,160338,132763,13516,2034,12124,239546,62203,432,22311,72158,1214,2061,66477,461,8537,2046,96586,3257],"class_list":["post-560445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arrived","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-artsdesign","tag-auckland","tag-best","tag-commended","tag-competition","tag-design","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-exhibition","tag-highly","tag-hira","tag-ie","tag-images","tag-ireland","tag-leading","tag-memorial","tag-museum","tag-of","tag-opening","tag-paenga","tag-photographer","tag-photography","tag-rest","tag-showcases","tag-the","tag-tmaki","tag-weekend","tag-wildlife","tag-winners","tag-with","tag-worlds","tag-year"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116835224613945962","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=560445"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560445\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/560446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=560445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=560445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=560445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
