Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards 2022

Here's a selection of OGN's favourite finalists in this years Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards.


The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards co-founder Tom Sullam said: “With so much going on in the world, we could all use a bumper dose of fun and laughter and this year’s finalists have definitely delivered that!”


Apart from focussing on the more humorous side of wildlife photography, the Awards also aim to promote wildlife conservation. Each year the competition supports a sustainable conservation organisation. This year, that is the Whitley Fund for Nature (WFN), a UK charity that supports conservation leaders working in their home countries across the Global South.


Which image is to triumph? We can expect to find out on 8 December when the Overall Winner, Category and Highly Commended winners are announced. The top image will win the photographer a one-week safari in the Masai Mara, Kenya.
