Wednesday 15 Jan 2014 9:01 am
A competition and prize fund established to seek out the world’s most incredible animal photography is back, as the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) today launches the ZSL Animal Photography Prize 2014.
Now in its third year, organisers are expecting a high calibre of entries from around the world for the wildlife photography competition, which will be judged by television presenter Kate Humble, and ornithologist Bill Oddie.
The ZSL Animal Photography Prize 2014 features six categories for adult and junior entrants, including Last Chance to See, putting the focus on endangered and threatened species and Size Matters for the little and large members of the animal kingdom.
With a £10k prize fund, the competition also puts winning photographers in with the chance of having their image displayed in a striking exhibition, which will be on display at ZSL London Zoo this autumn.
Aiming to inspire photographers of all abilities to explore the wonders of the animal kingdom, the competition closes on 1 April 2014. To enter the ZSL Animal Photography Prize 2014, visit www.zsl.org/photo-prize.
