Since its inception in 2015, entries to the Wild Comedy Pictures Awards (beforehand) have captured a few of nature’s most unlucky and humorous moments. The general winner was Jennifer Hadley’s well timed picture of a Three-month-old lion cub tumbling out of a tree, taken in Serengeti, Tanzania. Hadley stated she and her touring companions had been following the cub within the tree for a while. “Nor did it happen to me that he would attempt to let himself go in essentially the most uncommon style. I imply, how usually do cats fall out of bushes?” she says.
On this 12 months’s competitors, 5,000 entries from 85 international locations confronted fierce competitors, that includes “critically humorous” photographs in an effort to focus on the range of the world’s wildlife and lift consciousness of the necessity for conservation . In partnership with the Whitley Fund for Nature, the competitors contributes 10% of proceeds to conservation efforts in international locations of the worldwide south.
See a gallery of all of the profitable photographs on the competitors web site, and if you would like to enter your personal photographs for consideration within the 2023 competitors, purposes are actually open.
