The final shortlist for this year includes 41 stand-alone photographs, 3 videos, and 3 Portfolio entries, including a kangaroo playing the air guitar, dancing horses, an otter in ballet, and a penguin who is asking directions.

The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards were co-founded by Tom Sullam and Paul Joynson Hicks MBE in 2015. They wanted to create an award that would focus on the lighter side of wildlife photography, but still play a major role in promoting conservation.
