Here are the winners and highly commended photographs from WildArt Photographer of the Year 2021.

WildArt Photographer of the Year 2021 is won by Csaba Tökölyi from Hungary with this image of Whale Sharks taken in the Philippines. After 10 monthly category rounds over the course of the year, WildArt Photographer of the Year is proud to announce the winners of the 2021 competition. With over 10,500 images received from around 700 photographers in 47 countries around the world, WildArt has established itself as a major international competition in its very first year.

Competition founder and organizer, Rob Read comments: “WildArt is the first wildlife photography competition to really focus on the artistic side of wildlife photography and it has certainly resonated with the photography community. My main aim was to create a home for photographers who pushed artistic boundaries with their photography, I think WildArt has achieved this while raising money and awareness for conservation causes across the globe too.”

Congratulations go to Csaba Tökölyi from Hungary who claims the first WildArt Photographer of the Year crown with an amazing image of Whale Sharks taken in the Philippines. Csaba won the Monochrome category of the competition with this image, one of ten monthly rounds during 2021. The ten category winners were pitched against each other in the grand final, and the WildArt panel of judges chose this incredible image as the overall winner.

Csaba wins a £3,000 cash prize and the WildArt Photographer of the Year trophy.
