2021 Crikey! Magazine Photography Competition Winners
The Crikey! Magazine Photography Competition began five years ago, with a simple goal of celebrating the beauty and diversity of the natural world through photography. Over the years, the Competition has grown and evolved to be one of the largest of its kind in Australia, with thousands of entries being received from passionate photographers around the world!
Today, the global reach of the Crikey! Magazine Photography Competition provides a mean for encouraging greater public appreciation of our wildlife and wild places, and inspire action to conserve it for future generations.
Judged by award winning photographers including Robert Irwin, Georgina Steytler, Dudley Edmondson, Gary Cranitch and Kate Berry, the 2021 Competition welcomed wildlife-focused images for a chance to win prizes and be exhibited at Australia Zoo and the Queensland Museum’s iconic Whale Mall right outside Queensland Museum in Queensland’s Cultural Centre, South Bank.
