Our Sponsors
A huge thanks must go to all of our 2019 competition sponsors: Vanguard, Opticron and Rohan. Without their brilliant support we wouldn’t have been able to provide such a wonderful array of prizes to our deserved winners.
Overall Winner & Wildlife Portraits Winner – Peter Whitehead
This stunning image was one of the first portrait images to make the shortlist for its simplicity and elegance. It was the quality of the image that shone through and our panel of judges loved the striking tones, contrast with the snowy surrounds and the magical depth of field.
As many of you will know, getting a correct exposure in the snow can be particularly difficult - so it was all of these elements that came together to make Peter's image the deserved winner of both the Overall Prize and the Wildlife Portraits category.
Peter wins our three day trip to Skomer Island, to photograph puffins at the height of the breeding season, as well as a £500 voucher from Vanguard.
Animal Action Winner – Nick Dale
This was a category that had our judges going backwards and forwards for many hours. In the end, they chose this fabulous image of a grizzly bear, at the famous Brooks Falls in Alaska. It was the timing of the shot, and hitting the brief perfectly, that clinched the win for Nick.
Nick wins an Opticron voucher worth £500
Wildlife Portfolio Winner – Andy Richardson
Our panel of judges were blown away by not only the quality, but also the number of entries in our Wildlife Portfolio category. The judges finally settled on Andy's stunning collection of images from the Pantanal in Brazil. The portfolio perfectly captures a number of species in this stunning destination.
Andy wins a Rohan 'shopping experience' worth £500
