Every year beautiful nature photos continue to show us the world from a different perspective. 2024 is no different as we finally can share the winning images of the highly anticipated World Nature Photography Awards.

In this year’s competition, there were 14 categories, and the one that took the grand prize belongs to Tracey Lund, who captured two gannets under the water and submitted it under the Behavior – Birds category. Luckily, this year, not only do you get to see the winning images, but there is also a possibility to buy them. As Adrian Dinsdale, co-founder of the WNPAs, said: “Our winners never fail to take our breath away with their stunning images. As always, it’s such a joy to see the amazing caliber of entries into the awards. We’re thrilled that people will now have the chance to buy some of these images to grace the walls of their homes. What’s more, we’re planning to plant a tree for every piece of wall art we sell.”
