The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards is free to enter and open to photographers across the world, and it results in some seriously hilarious images.
This year’s entries have already been narrowed down by the judges to the 44 top images for 2020. These photos include a fox in heavy negotiations with a mouse, a seriously smiley fish, a photo-bombing giraffe and a very poorly p-p-p-penguin, among a ton of other gut-busting images.
The Category and Overall Winners will be announced on October 22. The photographer with the top image submission will win a one-week safari with Alex Walker’s Serian in the Masai Mara, Kenya, and a unique handmade trophy from the Art Garage in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
