The winners of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition were revealed at a ceremony at the Natural History Museum, London, which runs the annual competition.
Photojournalist Brent Stirton has won the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2017 title for his compelling image Memorial to a species, which frames a recently shot and de-horned black rhino in South Africa’s Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve. Beating almost 50,000 entries from 92 countries, Brent’s image will be on show with 99 other images selected by an international panel of judges at the fifty-third Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition.
The exhibition opens at the Natural History Museum on October 20, 2017 before touring across the UK and internationally to locations such as Canada, Spain, the USA, Australia and Germany. For more information and the full list of winners, visit the Natural History Museum website.
