\"comedy<\/a>\u00a9 Emma Parker\/Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards 2025<\/p>\n

I love good wildlife photography, but if it\u2019s also funny \u2013 I love it even more! The Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards are back with another delightful batch of laugh-out-loud animal antics. The contest has unveiled some of the best submissions so far. From a tiny dragon waving hello to a pair of mudskippers mid-duet, and a fashion-forward rhino<\/a>. With only one month left before the competition closes for entries, these will make you giggle and inspire you to take and submit your own shots.<\/p>\n

Behind the Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards<\/p>\n

Now in its tenth year, this contest celebrates the hilarity and unpredictability of wildlife while shining a light on conservation. Since its founding in 2015 by photographers Paul Joynson-Hicks MBE and Tom Sullam, Comedy Wildlife has aimed to merge humor and heart. It raises awareness for habitat protection through photography that makes you giggle.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s clearly working. This year alone, the contest has received over a thousand entries from across the globe \u2013 so far. Each year, the contest partners with a conservation <\/a>charity, and for 2025, they\u2019re once again teaming up with the Whitley Fund for Nature<\/a>. Over three decades, WFN has supported conservation leaders across the Global South, funneling \u00a323 million into grassroots efforts.<\/p>\n

Nikon is this year\u2019s sponsor of our beloved wildlife photography contest. \u201cIt\u2019s such an honour to be working with the Comedy Wildlife team again this year,\u201d says Stefan Maier, Nikon Europe Senior General Manager Marketing. \u201cWe\u2019ve loved seeing all the hilarious entries so far and look forward to even more!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Prizes<\/p>\n

The grand prize winner will receive a safari to Kenya\u2019s Maasai Mara with Alex Walker\u2019s Serian, a handcrafted trophy from Tanzania\u2019s Wonder Workshop, and serious bragging rights. Nikon sweetens the deal with top-tier gear for junior and young photographers. And last but not least, all category winners walk away with a sleek camera bag from ThinkTANK<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The competition is open to all, totally free to enter, and has categories for mammals, birds, reptiles and insects, aquatic life, video clips, and even an internet portfolio. There are dedicated slots for young and junior photographers too\u2014so the whole family can join the fun.<\/p>\n

As for the winners, they will be announced in December at a free exhibition at London\u2019s Gallery@Oxo from the 10th to 14th. It\u2019s a chance to see the finalists\u2019 works in person and celebrate the joy of photography that brings awareness through amusement.<\/p>\n
