If you're looking for a good laugh, the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards is the perfect place to start. This annual contest showcases animals in some of the most unexpected and humorous situations, capturing their personalities in ways you've never seen before. The finalists for 2018 have been announced, and they are sure to make you smile.
Founded by Tom Sullam and Paul Joynson-Hicks, the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards aim to use humor to raise awareness for wildlife conservation. With only 41 entries making it to the final round out of over 2000 submissions, the competition is fierce. However, the quality of the images continues to improve each year, according to Sullam. He notes that the photographers are a mix of professionals and amateurs, allowing for a wide variety of animals to be photographed.
The organizers believe that even the smallest actions can make a difference in wildlife conservation. By following Born Free on social media, supporting them financially, sharing their posts, or purchasing the book, individuals can help raise awareness and support for the cause.
The competition is divided into various categories, and the winners will be selected based on their technical excellence and engaging content. The overall winners will be announced at the Awards Night at Foyles in Charing Cross, London, on November 15th, with an expert panel making the final decision. Additionally, there is an Affinity Photo People's Choice Award, giving voters a chance to select their favorite photo and win an iPad.
Without further ado, here are the top 20+ funniest wildlife photos of 2018 that are guaranteed to put a smile on your face:
