The Nature inFocus Photography Contest 2021 winners have been announced. The competition included more than 18,000 entries from over 2,000 photographers from 40 countries. Winners were selected from numerous categories, including Animal Portraits, Wildscape and Animals in Habitat, Creative Nature Photography, Young Photographer, Conservation Issues, and Animal Behavior.
The contest results were announced via a livestream earlier this week, which you can view a replay of below.
For the first time in the competition's history, no overall winner was named. The jury, which included Andy Rouse, Bahar Dutt, Dhritiman Mukherjee, Navaneeth Unnikrishnan and Rathika Ramasamy, felt that it was too difficult to determine an overall winner.
