About the competition

Mammals are some of our most difficult creatures to photograph in the UK. Entrants to Mammal photographer of the year prove hat they are more than up to the challenge of capturing images of these elusive animals.

The competition is run by the Mammal society and attracts more than 300 entrants each year. The winners are selected by a panel of wildlife photographers and ecologists and are announced at the societies annual conference.
