Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards

The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards is a global photography competition founded in 2015[1] by Paul Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullam.[2][3][4] It was established with the goal of promoting the conservation of wildlife and their environs through the use of positive and upbeat imagery. Through the use of humorous images the competition has gained a global following, and offers a new approach to building conservation awareness. The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards have had 3 bestselling books published, working with Natalie Galustian[5]Joel Simons and Blink Publishing.[6] In 2019 Michelle Wood was brought in as the third director. In 2019 the 40 finalists were showcased at the annual Wildlife & Safari Travel Show.[7] The competition has annual exhibitions around the world and recently launched another competition: The Comedy Pet Photography Awards in association with Mars Petcare.
