Waterlife photo competition - 2020 results

Here are the results of our annual 2020 Waterlife photo competition, where you can see the full shortlist of the best of our entries.

Every year we run our Waterlife photo competition for members and this year, despite the challenge of not being able to visit our centres and get that perfect shot, has been particularly impressive – expressing originality and ingenuity through unique styles and approach to composition.

This year we also introduced our Young Person’s category, which has been a huge success and we look forward to seeing more budding talent from passionate young photographers in the future.

Please enjoy WWT's version of Wildlife Photographer of the Year with this virtual gallery.
