🌍📸 Global Wildlife Fair International Photo Awards 2026
Wildlife photography is more than capturing a striking animal portrait—it can reveal behaviour, relationships, habitats and the changing relationship between people and the natural world.
The Global Wildlife Fair International Photo Awards 2026 invites photographers from around the world to explore the theme “Wildlife” through three categories:
🦁 Faces of the Wild — Portraits of wild mammals, birds, reptiles and other species, highlighting their character and distinctive features.
🐾 Wild Instincts — Moments that reveal animal behaviour, interactions, cooperation, competition and survival in the wild.
🌿 Human/Nature — Images exploring wildlife, habitats, conservation, human-wildlife interactions and the environmental challenges facing species.
