The Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition garnered nearly 60,000 entries from 117 nations for its 2024 edition, creating an extensive selection from which judges will announce just 100 finalists. To involve the general public in the selection procedure, the Natural History Museum, which organizes and oversees the annual event, initiated the People’s Choice Award.

Twenty-five breathtaking photographs are available for voting and represent a diverse array of biological occurrences worldwide. In Botswana, David Northall discovered an exceptionally persistent honey badger intent on feasting on a porcupine despite the spiky animal’s aggressive defense. Meanwhile, in Bhigwan, India, Arvind Ramamurthy encountered five wolves—a species endangered by human intrusion—frolicking in a vibrant meadow.

The voting period for the contest will remain open until January 29, so be sure to explore all 25 pictures and submit your choice on the museum’s website.
