The contest brings hearty laughs with "difficult" situations in the animal world - from a little dragon waving hello, a pair of brown gobies singing a duet, to a rhino with an impressive " fashion sense".

2025 marks the tenth year of the competition – a journey that celebrates the humor and unpredictability of wild nature while raising awareness for conservation.

Since its founding in 2015 by photographers Paul Joynson-Hicks MBE and Tom Sullam, the award has always aimed to combine humour and humanity.

Through humorous photos, the contest helps call attention to the protection of natural habitats.

Each year, the competition partners with a conservation charity. In 2025, the award will once again be with the Whitley Fund for Nature.

The top prize winner will receive a trip to Kenya's Maasai Mara reserve with organisers Alex Walker's Serian, a handmade trophy from Wonder Workshop in Tanzania, and a trophy and recognition.

The contest is open to everyone, with categories including mammals, birds, reptiles and insects, aquatic life, video clips, and even online photos.
