Regarded as one of the most prestigious and long-running wildlife competitions in the world, the Wildlife Photographer of the Year is a global showcase for nature photography and environmental photojournalism. Australians featured prominently on the honour roll for the 57th edition. How will they perform this year? Last year, the competition attracted over 50,000 entries from 95 countries.

This year, entry fees have been waived for 50 countries to further encourage submissions from global regions that are currently under-represented in the competition, and which have been identified by multiple factors indicating that the competition entry fee might be an economic barrier to entry.

Entry fees are £30 per Adult entry, and up to 25 images can be entered. The closing date for the competition Thursday, 9 December, 11.30am GMT).
