2017 Comedy Photography Wildlife Awards

In its third year, the Comedy Photography Wildlife Awards have announced their finalists in their annual ‘Conservation through Competition’ campaign.

The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, ingeniously titled to avoid any confusion, was the result of two factors: Firstly, a need for a photography competition that was light hearted, upbeat, possibly unpretentious and mainly about wildlife doing funny things. After its first year, these objectives seem to have been met. Secondly, and way more importantly, this competition is about conservation.

If you’d like to enter future competitions, learn more about the organization, or support conservation by purchasing any of their merchandise, check the link at the end of this article.

For now, we present to you a sampling of 2017’s finalists:

‘Jeff is drunk… again.’

‘Birdfart.’

‘Thwap’… it was then that Phil realized fish cannot give ‘high fives’.

‘But where does it come from?….’

This is what is referred to as giving someone ‘the ‘ol Crabeye’.

‘Bearsex in the snow with heat-fog’

‘You don’t know how to drive’… was the last anyone has ever heard or seen of these monkeys and that motorcycle.

Mudskippers realizing self-existence is an illusion.

Designated Driver.

Do you even lift, Bro?
