As every year, comes the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, awards that were created in 2015 by two photographers and wildlife enthusiasts, Tom Sullam and Paul Joynson-Hicks, from Tanzania. Its objective is to raise awareness about wildlife conservation through laughter. The competition works together with the Born Free Foundation, of Great Britain, to highlight a more serious issue: promoting wildlife conservation through a positive and fun message. And what better way to look for the most cool and smiling images of animals in their habitat.
The entity has already announced the 40 finalists, and in November the winner of each blush and the global winner will be known.
"In just four years, this competition has gone from hilarious humor to completely ridiculous, everything these fantastic animals have provided us," says the co-founder
of the prize, Tom Sullam. And he adds: “The intention of the contest is to raise awareness through photography, get people to participate and use humor as a reinforcement
positive of good things instead of focusing on the negative images that have historically been used. Conservation was always at the heart of the competition, along with the fact that people seemed to enjoy images of animals doing entertaining things. By living in a country that has the best wildlife
of the world, as Tanzania is, it is seen how destructive human actions can be for wildlife. That made us want to help a little, ”concludes Sullman.
Last year, the absolute winner was the photographer Mary McGowan won in three categories, including the main one, leaving her photo titled Caught in the act as absolute winner of the contest, in which we see a squirrel with a face in surprise and with the front legs raised as if he were responding to a police interrogation. Mary, from the United States, was awarded, among other awards,
with a trip to the Maasai Mara national reserve, a protected savanna area in southwestern Kenya, along the border with Tanzania. In her live animals like
lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras and hippos. Which one will win this new edition? On the website of the entity you can see more finalists.
