The winners of the 6oth Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition were announced this week, and a breathtaking exhibition of the final one hundred images opens on Friday 11 October at the Natural History Museum in London. The 2024 competition received over sixty thousand entries, a remarkable transformation from its humble origins as a magazine competition in 1965, with just three hundred and sixty-one entries.
