Comedy Wildlife Awards Unveil Finalists After Record Entries

The 2026 Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards have named their finalists from a record 10,000-plus entries submitted across 112 countries. The shortlist includes humorous animal photos, videos and portfolios. Founded in 2015, the competition uses humor to build empathy for wildlife and promote conservation, and this year supports the Born Free Foundation. Winners will be announced in London on December 8, followed by a public exhibition of finalist work from December 9–13. The overall winner will receive a safari in Kenya’s Masai Mara.
