photo contest

A daring fox, a flying dolphin, and a posing seal are just some of the winning pics from the 2020 amateur photo competition, Mammal Photographer of the Year.

The winning photo, called "Foxhall Zafira", was taken by Roger Cox from London after the fox had jumped onto his car. Roger says foxes often jump on cars to find wild cherries that have dropped from the trees: "I took this picture…when it jumped up on my car to investigate if there was anything of interest for it, as I'd seen it do several times before," he said.

Here are the winning photos this year.  

This competition is one of the most prestigious nature photo contests in the world and the winning images represent some of the best underwater photographs of the year. Photographers from 78 countries entered images to the different contest's categories, including two new ones- conservation and blackwater diving.  

The #Love2019 competition, organized by AGORA images, asked photographers from all over the world to share what love means to them and their photos prove that love truly is a universal language. The organizers received over 15,000 submissions and we have selected a handful of beautiful animal photos. Check them out in the gallery below. 

Every year talented artists allow us to travel the globe through the lenses of their cameras, which capture breathtaking moments we would otherwise miss. The National Geographic's travel photo contesthonors these explorers and photographers by accepting global entries across three categories—Nature, Cities, and People. Here are the winners. 

This year saw a record-breaking number of entries with more than 327,000 images entered into the2019 Sony World Photography Awards. Here are some of te best animal photos. 

Photographer David Lloyd's Bond of Brothers image, which features a pair of male lions, took home the People's Choice Award at this year's Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. Sometimes we spend years mistreating animals to force them to perform certain acts. Or to behave in a certain way. And we would never in years of such behavior towards these majestic animals, be able to capture a moment so pure and natural. And in the spirit of that majesty, are these regal lion memes that will have you feeling like you too have (had) a claim to the Iron Throne.

The 2018 Ocean Art Underwater Photo Competition announced its winners this week. The amazing pictures of beautiful sea creatures including crown fish, whales and squids are good reminders on the importance of ocean preservation. The full list of winning pictures are displayed at Underwater Photography Guide.

Dog owners will agree that our canine friends have unique personalities beyond the traits of their breed. The family duo of Alexander Khokhlov and Veronica Ershova set out to show that dogs can do more than sit quietly, lie and bark on command. In their project "The Dog Show," the photographers show that some dogs are somber, others mischievous, haughty, laughing, sad, angry, indifferent. This series of funny and insightful dog portraits received the Silver Award of the Prix De La Photographie Paris contest. More: Alexander Khokhlov & Veronica Ershova, Behance
