Stunning images unveiled as Wildlife Photographer of the Year arrives in Seaton Tramway

The world-renowned exhibition, on loan from the Natural History Museum in London, will open at Seaton Station, Seaton Tramway on 10th February, featuring exceptional imageStunning images unveiled as Wildlife Photographer of the Year arrives in Seaton Tramways which capture fascinating animal behaviour, spectacular species, and the breath-taking diversity of the natural world. Using photography's unique emotive power to engage and inspire audiences, the images shine a light on stories and species around the world and encourage a future of advocating for the planet.

Wildlife Photographer of the Year is the most prestigious photography event of its kind, providing a global platform that showcases some of the best photography talent from around the world for over 55 years. Launching in 1965, today the competition receives entries from over 90 countries all over the world, highlighting its enduring appeal. This year’s award-winning images will embark on an international tour that will allow them to be seen by well over a million people.  

The judges of the fifty-eighth Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition had an extremely difficult task. Every entry was judged anonymously on its creativity, originality, and technical excellence by an international panel of industry experts.

The winning images, including the prestigious Grand Title Award winners, were announced on 11th October 2022 during a glittering awards show hosted by wildlife presenter and conservationist Chris Packham.

Dr Doug Gurr, Director of the Natural History Museum says, 'Captured by some of the best photography talent from around the world, the 100 photographs encourage curiosity, connection and wonder. These inspiring images convey human impact on the natural world in a way that words cannot – from the urgency of declining biodiversity to the inspiring bounce back of a protected species.’
