Wildlife Photographer of the Year Special exhibition

The 60th edition of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition can be admired at the Natural History Museum Basel – exclusively in Switzerland. The competition sets new standards in nature photography every year and is considered the most important of its kind in the world.

A jury selected the 100 most outstanding images from over 59,000 submitted photographs. The Natural History Museum, London is responsible for organising the competition.

DJs Fabolous & KDFA heat up the winter in our atmospheric museum bar. Once a month you can visit the exhibition WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR in the evening and then toast to the end of the day.

AWARDS FOR THE BEST NATURE PICTURES

For the Snapshot competition an independent jury selected - out of all images submitted - ten images from each of the three categories and will award the podium places tonight. Photographs with a focus on biodiversity will be honoured by IWB. In addition, an audience favourite photograph was chosen through online voting. We will also reveal which photograph won the hearts of the public and therefore the Public Prize.

After the award ceremony we will open the SNAPSHOT exhibition. The 35 best photographs can be admired in the exhibition at our museum until 29 June 2025.

The Snapshot photo competition takes place as part of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year special exhibition.
