Photography:
2022 FINALISTS are announced...Vote for your favourite!
We are delighted to reveal this year's top 40 photos, (and boy, there are some beauties!) chosen from a rich and varied smorgasbord of delightful entries once again. The standard of photography just keeps on getting better and better and we are so chuffed to be able to share them with you. There is a farting Zebra, (a first for us, surprisingly) a couple of monkeys playing doctors and nurses, some wallabies having fun at sunset and a friendly waving raccoon! If you need a chuckle, you can see them all on the Affinity Photo People's Choice Award page, where you can also vote for your favourite and be in with a chance of winning £500 courtesy of our brilliant sponsors at Affinity Photo. And if you're stuck for a Christmas present, prints of all the 2022 Finalists are available to buy on our Shop page!
Voting will close on 27th November and the 2022 Winners of all the categories and the Comedy Wildlife Photographer of the Year will be announced on December 8th.
