50th National Wildlife Photography Contest 2021 - Entries Open 13 January 2021

Rejoice in the glorious diversity of life on Earth with the winners of the 2020 National Wildlife Photo Contest. Photographer Alex Rose, from Illinois, was the grand prize winner with this stunning shot of an American crocodile gulping for breath in Cuba’s Jardines de la Reina, an archipelago off its southern coast. According to NWF, this network of islands, lagoons, and mangrove swamps is one of the largest protected areas in Cuba, with fish, coral, and crocs thriving there. Alex, who was there as part of a shark conservation project, said: ‘These wild animals are so powerful and impressive’. All nature photographers, both amateur and professional, are now invited to enter the 50th annual National Wildlife Photo Contest, which opens on January 13, 2021.
