About IWPA

Due to the current isolation rules that have been implemented due to Covid-19, photographers around the world find themselves house bound. It’s important not to be disheartened during this time and instead get creative by interacting with the wildlife that can be found on your doorstep.

So pick up your camera and wow us with your amazing photography, taken in either your home or garden. From houseplants to houseflies, garden birds to buzzing bees, the possibilities are literally endless. Telephoto or macro, it doesn’t matter your lens, with a little creative thought, your next great photo is right under your nose.

Your homes and gardens are teeming with animals of all shapes, sizes and colours. Now is the time to concentrate on the wildlife you might normally take for granted.

This is also a chance for your work to be viewed by some pretty cool judges.

Please note this is a competition that has been setup to encourage you to keep shooting. It has been put together with the donation of time from the organisers and as such there are no prizes but we do hope this will not discourage you from entering.

Please note if you have not heard from us by the 20th of June 2020, sadly your entry has not been successful in reaching the next round.

Many thanks for taking part in the competition and we hope the IWPA 2020 gave you something productive to do with your time during lockdown and you enjoyed engaging with nature on your doorstep.

Insights from the International Wildlife Photography Awards

Published on 27 December 2024

Wildlife photography can teach us a lot of things about connection. Animals that are captured in those photographs exhibit a very similar behaviour to us humans. For example, both us humans and chimps spend big parts of our day socializing and interacting with one another. This comes to show that connection is important throughout the whole animal kingdom. On the other hand, animals not only connect with one another, but they also connect with their habitat and the environment they live in, which we see reflected in most wildlife photography.

Interestingly enough, the notion of connection transcends the wilderness and makes it into the digital age. Nowadays, with platforms offering live shows like stripchat.app, people can connect without the need to meet face to face or share a common space. Whether it’s in nature or online, one thing is clear: we need spaces for expression and connection, and we are constantly creating new ones.
