South Australian Museum’s Nature Photographer of the Year.

Nature Photographer of the Year as the SAMuseum explains:

The annual Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year competition calls on photographers from around the world to celebrate the fauna, flora and natural formations of the Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and the New Guinea region. Submitted entries capture incredible moments in time, bearing witness to the unique beauty of the world around us.

The competition, owned and produced by the South Australian Museum, results in a stunning collection of images that provoke us to explore and understand the changing nature of our environment and appreciate the wonder that surrounds us while enriching our knowledge of this extraordinary region.

Each year we print and mount this show for the Museum, it is one of the highlights of our calendar, the pictures below are from the launch event.
