Public given chance to vote for favourite wildlife image from ‘exceptional’ list
A 25-strong shortlist of images taken from entries to the Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest is being put to a public vote.

The public are being urged to vote for their favourite nature image from an “exceptional” shortlist for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year people’s choice award.
A determined honey badger trying to catch a spiky meal, a beluga doing a spot of exfoliating, an Indian wolf pack pausing in play and an image of a cheetah cub waiting to be sold at a market, are among the 25 images shortlisted for the public vote.

They have been selected from the 59,228 entries to this year’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, in addition to the contest’s 100 winning images announced in October, by the Natural History Museum, London, and an international judging panel.
