The competition is open to novices, amateurs and professionals. 

The 2025 Nikon Comedy Wildlife Awards have opened for entries, with a once-in-a lifetime safari in the Maasai Mara, Kenya, up for grabs.

Photography novices, amateurs and professionals are invited to celebrate global wildlife — and highlight what we must do to protect it — by submitting their best funny snaps in one of the following eight categories: 
  • Mammals
  • Birds
  • Reptiles, amphibians and insects
  • Fish and other aquatic species
  • Nikon Young Photographer (25 years and under)
  • Nikon Junior Category (16 years and under)
  • Portfolio
  • Video
  • Photo People’s Choice (to be decided after winners announced).

Entries will be judged by Nikon creators Cameron Whitnall, Lara Jackson and Roxy Furman, together with a host of well-known faces, wildlife photographers and conservationists. 

The competition will remain open until June 30th 2025, with the shortlist revealed in October. It is free to enter and the winners announced at the end of the year. 

Stefan Maier, Nikon Europe senior general marketing manager said: “It’s a great privilege to be partnering with the Comedy Wildlife team for a second year. We have been moved by the level of global affection the award has attained, bringing people closer to wildlife and nature in a positive, humorous and impactful way. 

“For Nikon, empowering and amplifying photographers and filmmakers as they create with purpose is a part of our DNA, so our shared commitment to celebrating their talent and amplifying conservation efforts through their work is a perfect fit for us.”
