2023 was a record-breaking year for Wildlife Artist of the Year, and, as we return to London for a summer in the city, we expect this year’s exhibition to be just as popular.
Don’t miss your opportunity to experience and purchase this year’s show-stopping entries in person.
Don’t worry if you can’t make it though, as we’ll also be sharing every piece of artwork to view and buy online too in our ever-popular virtual event.
Further details about our in-person awards ceremony and the accompanying virtual event will be released nearer the time but remember to check back here regularly for more details. You can also sign up for our newsletter to be amongst the first to know here.
