The annual Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awardscompetition is now open to entries.
Each year, the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards team up with a sustainability conservation organization. For their 10th year, the awards are working with Whitley Fund for Nature, a United Kingdom-based charity that supports conservation leaders in the Global South.
Jason Moore’s jamming kangaroo won last year’s award, and there's just over a month to go before the competition closes and we find out who nabs the top prize for 2024.
The competition organizers have unveiled some of the best submissions so far.
