This year’s competition attracted over 60,000 entries from photographers of all ages and experience levels.

During an intense week at the Natural History Museum in London, entries were judged anonymously on their creativity, originality, and technical excellence by an international panel of industry experts.

It is now visiting Shropshire as part of its international tour.

Alongside the main exhibition, visitors can also see a selection of wildlife photographs taken by different aged Shropshire photographers, who took part in the Museum’s own community photography competition with a focus on ‘Wildlife on your doorstep’.

The exhibition is open Tuesday to Saturday, (closed Sundays and Mondays) 10am-4pm. Admission is £7.50 per adults with concessions for seniors, students and Friends of the Museum. Tickets can be purchased from the shop on arrival.
